Hello. Sorry, I should have exposed my case more thoroughly. You said : "Why are you trying to building again after compilation of a given package fails? Won't it just fail again?"
No. For example, I've tried to compile Atlas (the process takes about 5 hours), may be 4 or 5 times and the last attempt it succeeded. But before it happened, during the previous attempts, sometime it failed after 3/4 hours, losing all the files generated because installation script unpacked again Atlas. This is what I'm pointing out in my post, asking if it's possible to keep this object files to save time. Same symptoms with Linbox. Only the stuff within "sage-3.2/.hg" reluctantly failed. Thus my post. You said : "Are you modifying the package in the meantime" No again, I haven't modified even a single bit within the source. For information : It's a Atlhon and CPU "throttle" is inactive. Mister Mabshoff has suggested an overheating CPU problem, but I'm slightly dubious, because I compile with gcc various softwares and tackle *heavy* calculations with Sage-2.11, without problem, on a regular basis. So why problems should occur only with Sage compilation ? I can post you the whole install log but I think it's not very useful because the failure point constantly varies (however always reporting a "status 11" error). Thanks again.
