Did you install all the packages required from: http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
I'm able to build error free from the latest repo synced source. I routinely use make -j8 on a 6 core AMD phenom box and only see errors I introduce. :) Have you run x86memtest? This build will stress the memory subsystem (and if you don't have enough real memory + swap, that might cause some issues) . Are you doing something weird (like building in a VMWare image to a partition mounted from the host? I've seen that do buggy things as the shared disk system flakes out which doesn't happen when you build to a native partition.) Every time I've had "start up errors" like that where I thought I had to edit the source, it's been flakey disk subsystem, or issues with the repo download.
