A signal 4 while building world is almost certainly a hardware
problem. Waiting on 4.2 release is not likely to make a difference. If
you have a K6 CPU, it's probably a CPU problem and, if it never shows
up during normal operations, it's probably temperature. Buildworld
heats up a CPU better than anything I have ever done. If your mobo has
thermal sensors, install healthd from ports and monitor the
temperature during the build.

If it's getting hot (much over 40 C), make sure your heatsink is
properly coated with silicon grease. Until I did that, I could not
buildworld without getting a signal 4.
