I got a lot of sig 11 errors from gcc when I first started with linux. I eventually narrowed it down to a bad SIMM module. Is this a new computer? If so, that could be it. DOS memory-checking programs do not test the RAM as well as gcc does. Mine checked out OK with the memory checking programs I had, but a new module fixed my problem.
I have the same gcc as you (gcc-2.7.2-5.deb), and managed to compile the kernel that came in the distribution (1.3.64) with no problems. The only other thing it might be is if you ran out of swap space, but the error should be different. I doubt that the kernel version matters, but maybe. Did you compile 1.3.64 successfully? As another memory test, try to compile xv. That is a real memory checker. I bet you get errors from that, too. -- David L.
