I had a new server that I was compiling apache on. It has 256MB of ram, and kept bombing out at different points of compilation with Sig 11s or something. Turned out to be faulty RAM, a very common symptom and problem apparently. Maybe swap the RAM chips for known working ones and see if it resolves the problem?
