This really doesn't make any sense (at least as a software problem).  If the 
*compilation* was going to dump core it would surely be based on the system 
running, not the code it's compiling.

Indeed, your explanations sound inconsistent.

We'd stand a much better job of guessing what's going on if you could 
possibly type in some actually error messages, or ideally the atually log of 
the section of the make where it fails.
