The fact that it was failing in a different place each time is a very
strong indicator that it was hardware-related: compilers are pretty
deterministic beasts in what they do; given the same input they will
go through the same set of steps and produce the same output. If this
was a bug in gcc, I'd expect it to fail in the same place each time
when it tries to compile the magic code.
Perhaps what you're seeing is a hardware fault which is only triggered
by the particular combination of instructions output by gcc with
-march=k6, but I think the evidence is pretty strongly in favour of a
hardware fault of some kind.
