I not claiming that a bug does not exists, but with an out-of-date
config(8) I may have (or have not) properly defined an option
during kernel builds.  A simple "make -j 4" in sys/compile/TROUTMASK would
hang my machine in minutes.

I've turned off a broken BIOS feature and set /usr to be mounted
with sync.  Several kernel builds have gone off without incidence,
and I've built tex and friends from scratch without incidence.
