The error isn't always the same file on two consecutive tries but they do seem
to repeat themselves (in other words, init_sysent.c has shown up as an error
more than once but not consecutively, same for pf.c)
Intermittent and inconsistent signal 11's from the compiler: that's
classically the sign of bad memory in the box. Try removing or
replacing the memory.
Ok, I've gone through multiple iterations of memory sticks of various
sizes and even swapped motherboards but I still get signal 11's. Is
there a low memory flag I can set that will prevent make from using all
available RAM? This signal 11 issue doesn't crop up immediately, it
takes quite some time before it finally shows up.
