What compiler and C(XX)FLAGS are you using? It builds nicely with gcc-4.9 (and rather agressive flags) here. With how many processes (MAKEOPTS) are you compiling?. Also, compiling gcc might expose flaky RAM (removing and reseating the RAM DIMMs might help there[0]). Have you e.g. encoded stuff with mencoder or ffmpeg lately[1]? If you're compiling with any MAKEOPTS '-j1' it could be the same phenomenon as I had in [1], so try with -j1. If that works ... Consider using prime95/mprime[2] for a test. -dnh [0] stuff expands and shrinks depending on temps, so connections can get flaky even if the box isn't moved ;) [1] I've had mencoder segfault on me reproducibly on one box after 20-30 mins encoding with one process, and <= 10mins with two processes. Memtest86 found nothing in one round. New RAM (replaced on guarantee :) cured the problem for good.
