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.
For the archives:
I had a problem very similar to this, running RedHat 9 under VirtualPC 2004 on Win2k - things were dying horribly at very odd times. I finally tracked it down to *different speeds of memory* installed in the computer. Once I pulled out my 2 different 256Meg sticks of RAM, and installed a single 512Meg stick, all my problems went away, and LFS 5 runs happily on my Win2K box. Gearing up for 6.0 right now.
I would speculate (with the associated caveats) that you may have a memory issue, or as was mentioned previously, maybe a CPU cooling issue.
