If the crashes aren't repeatable (ie, the compiler segfaults in different places if you re-do the make), that's an almost sure sign of hardware problems like
overheating.

Looks like you were right.

After setting hw.acpi.cx_lowest to C2 I was able to finally compile a custom kernel. After vacuuming my CPU fan and putting the ventilator in a better position the buildworld succeeded at the 1st pass.

Thanks for putting me on the right track.
