Hardware problem? See http://www.BitWizard.nl/sig11/ . It's suspicious that the errors happen at varying times. This is normally seen with kernel compiles because for most people a kernel compile is one of the most system-stressing things they do. But glibc is a pretty big compile too so it would not be surprising if it triggered similar problems. > ... If I use the gcc that comes with my host system (FC3) I don't > get this problem. What are the version numbers? Perhaps the new version of gcc stresses your hardware more than the host version. What file systems are you using? I hear that reiserfs stresses the CPU much more than other file systems, which can lead to the bizarre "kernel compiles crash on this file system and not on others" bug. OK, I'm guessing, obviously, but it might be worth checking out.
