Unfortunately not. Since 1 week these types of errors (cc -pipe exiting
with some signal) also occurs on -stable for me with a P-IV 1.7GHz. I tried
to figure out which commit to RELENG_4 introduced the problems and found
that the problems began with the ipfilter update to v3.4.27. But this seems
not to be the real cause, as a workaround I found (dropping -pipe from
CFLAGS) has nothing to do with ipfilter.

Here are some symptoms from my /var/log/messages
pid 92638 (cc), uid 0: exited on signal 4 (core dumped)
pid 44494 (cc), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (core dumped)
pid 23068 (sed), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)
pid 19046 (egrep), uid 0: exited on signal 4 (core dumped)
pid 28452 (sed), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)
pid 65784 (cpp0), uid 0: exited on signal 4 (core dumped)
pid 61931 (sed), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (core dumped)
pid 80953 (cc), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (core dumped)
pid 32562 (cc), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (core dumped)
pid 12812 (sed), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)
pid 36423 (cc), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (core dumped)
pid 87631 (cc), uid 0: exited on signal 4 (core dumped)
pid 58087 (sed), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)

Again: there are no hardware problems (memory, cooling, etc.) here, it is
only related to some kernels. Booting a kernel which is old enough makes
the system running flawlessly.

Would be nice if that could be resolved before -RELEASE (but it seems to be
a difficult bug to track down).

Best regards
