Most time itīs the memory when gcc aborts with a signal 11. Iīm using
some very old Cyrix CPUs (the real bad ones ;-) ) and there it was
always the memory. If you got the chance try to change some of the
modules and then compile again. Another way to go around a signal 11
sometimes is to disable the 2nd level cache, compile a kernel (or
AfterStep) and enable the 2nd level cache again. You should try that
before changing the CPU.

Again sometimes it help playing around with the cache (write back,
write through, disable, ...)
