Thanks Joost, it seems like random fault.  I hope it is not faulty RAM - after 
4 years of no evident problems.  Anyway, I rebooted and the second time the 
compile completed without error.  :-/

This PC has a Zalman CPU cooler, the heat sink of which I flattened out to 
make sure it makes good contact with the CPU surface.  It will not show above 
45-46.5°C even when running cpuburn on all cores.
