It strikes me as extremely unlikely that a crash or lock up will have much to do with the software you are compiling. It's much more likely to be a hardware fault - I'd check the memory, CPU temperature, run a filesystem check and use the manufacturers' disk tools (or smartctl) to test my disk(s). When I've had issues like this in the past it has almost _always_ been hardware, with the very occasional bad driver instead. Try compiling something else big - the Linux kernel in a while loop for example - and see if you can crash it with that. -- Craig Ringer
