The problem seems to be that your compiler is crashing.

Please run 'cc -v' and send us the output.

Also, is the rest of your system stable? The problem could be in hardware too, like faulty RAM.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Please also run this on the machine:

  dmesg > dmesg.txt

and send us the resulting file.
