The errors are in different places every time??
Memory error?
What sorts of errors? Examples? Are they always in the same part of the
source tree?
I would advise manually checking to make sure everything you have is
approved for kernel use. (specifically, gcc and binutils.) The Debian
maintainers aren't infallible.
For gcc, anything newer than 2.95.2 is probably a bad idea for kernel
compiling.
