These look very much like the problems I had when
compiling on my Cyrix6x86 "chip frier", whih I just
put down to a teh flaky chip. (compiling stable as of
a few months back). I did the configure, then mounted
/usr on another box (Athlon 1400) and did the compile
there without problems. Then it's back to the old box
for the make install.
I would think that a K62 would be a better chip,
though.
