Compiler errors of this sort are often inidicative of a possible impending hardware failure, usually with memory, though CPU or disk failures might also produce similar results.
The usual test is whether or not the failure is reproducible -- does the build fail in the same place every time (possible problem with source or disk storage), or different ones (usu associated with memory/CPU failures)? Strongly recommend you find a memory testing utility and use it (try Freshmeat). On Tue, May 09, 2000 at 01:48:39PM +0200, Philip Lehman wrote: > > I'm trying to recompile a 2.2.14 kernel.
