When I've had troubles compiling something on my system (Athlon XP 1800+), I've gone with "-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe", and it's been solid.
When I first upgraded to my new board/processor, I got two K7S5A's, one for myself and one for my girlfriend. Both were flaky, and I sent them back and got new ASUS boards. I've heard nothing but bad reviews on the stability of K7S5A boards. However, I don't know if the motherboard has the potential to cause the error you're getting or not.
