All; These two kernel options seem to have solved the problem. Builds now run smoothly and error-free. I read the comments in NOTES about these options and something clicked: I recall that most Pentium processors will only deal with 4 kB pages. Aren't 4 MB pages a feature of the Xeon processor, as it can address much more memory?
If that is the case, then these options should be the default, and their inverse provided in the kernel configuration file (ENABLE_PSE & ENABLE_PG_G). -- Paul A.

My 1.8G P4 do the same without them.
