I had the exact same problem with the exact same machine you appear to ha=
ve.=20
This list at the time attributed it to a hardware issue, probably faulty=20
memory. Try doing a make clean, to clean up everything, and try again.  I=
f=20
the make fails at a different place each time, then its definatly a hardw=

problem.

My solution was to try doing the make over, and over, and after about 10 =
tries=20
it got all the way through. (which was frustrating because it did take ov=
er 7=20
hours to complete if I remember correctly)

Jacob
