Boot a rescue floppy or CD (FreeBSD, Linux, whatever) and test your disk with available tools like dd (from /dev/random), cp, and diff. Better yet, try the RAM swap-out idea, and maybe try using the all-on-floppy version of "memtest" (find at www.freshmeat.net). Maybe try removing your case and fanning the innards while your "make" is running. Maybe try resetting your RAM chips and other such tactics.
