I wasn't able to reproduce such a problem back then, nor am I now.
sig11 during builds usually indicates a hardware issue (RAM going bad,
system overheating, or maybe some crazy compiler options you've
specified in make.conf).

Please be aware on RELENG_8 you need to do this:

cd /usr/src
make buildworld WITH_CTF=1
make buildkernel WITH_CTF=1
make installkernel
{...the rest is normal per src/Makefile...}

The WITH_CTF=1 portion cannot be put into /etc/src.conf or
/etc/make.conf; it must be entered manually.

To reiterate and make it extra clear: this is for RELENG_8.

HEAD/CURRENT is a completely different story.  All of this is
documented, albeit in a roundabout way (please be sure to read
EVERYTHING SLOWLY and do not skim), here:
