Hi,
Try disabling -pipe when building the compiler. This seems to make
things more stable here (CFLAGS=-O in /etc/make.conf) - as if
building the kernel with -pipe sometimes produces a kernel that
subsequently murders the compiler with sig11/sig4 all the time.
This is just marginally more than theory at the moment though.
You may need to bootstrap a new kernel by building it on another
machine to get things running again.
