I've been experiencing similar problems with my dual p3 (on a vp6) system.
I couldn't build a kernel, the world, and some ports (large ones usually).
I happened to be running one of the cpuburn port programs (burnBX) to see
if it would crap out; meanwhile I was building a kernel. I was able to
build the kernel without these strange compile errors. Also, burnBX would
die (exit status -1), but certainly not predictably.
In my case, I'm not overclocking (and never have with this board), have
no powersupply problems, and have sufficient cooling (my cpus run at
about 30-33 celsius).
A friend suggested disabling my L2 cache, which I did and all my compilation
problems have gone away. Of course, I still can't get SMP up and running,
but that's a whole other story (maybe another hardware issue). At this
point, I'm not sure if it's the processor itself (unlikely I'd guess) or
a mobo problem (more likely), so if anyone has suggestions I'd really
appreciate them.
