Thank you Peter, your guess was quite right!

I've never seen something like that, because with the same settings each 
compilation process stopped at the same position. So I did not suspect a 
faulty memory where I believed build should break randomly.

Tests showed that all 4(!) banks showed errors and when I replaced them 
my build finished successfully.

Shame on me for not checking this before!

Thank you again everyone for your hints!

kindly regards,
Christoph
