Maybe it's not your case, but I experienced, that in case
of random errors during compilation there is a HW problem, mostly RAM.
I had to increase CPU supply voltage on **not* *overclocked Athlon XP
about + 0.2V to get compilation to work (random errors received)
(What's funny, installation of RH from CD passed ok,  and the system
was usable ...  I tryied to install Gentoo in chroot on it.)
I case you didn't checked your RAM already, instal RAM test

emerge  memtest86

add it to lilo or grub, reboot and let it run minimum one cycle ...

I am 99% sure your board will fail

Thanks for the advice about memtest. I will go ahead and do it later 
today.  I hope that my RAM passes ;-)

Ok, this is turing out to be one major problem. :-/ I ran memtest and 
sure enough, one of my sticks of RAM was bad.  Ok, no problem, I only 
loose 512 mb(only *tear*), and I am down to 768.  Oh well.  Start the 
machine, run memtest again, no errors.  But when I try to compile the 
kernel, I get the *same* exact errors as before.  Now I am clueless, and 
I think that memtest is lying to me.

One of the odd things about the RAM error is that it was more than 768 
mb down the line,and never once have I seen linux eat up 512 mb of RAM.  
Just 'one of those things' I guess.

Can you fellows think of anything else I can do?
