Very suspicious, at least. This may sound stupid, but have you checked your CPU fan lately? My primary machine at home (K6/2-300 at the time) ran great for forever, then very suddenly started doing the sporadic signal 11 thing during "make world". Turns out the CPU fan had died. It was hard to hear the difference in a machine with 5 disks in it... :) The same board did the same thing when I swapped out SIMMs for DIMMs and forgot to reset the memory timings in the BIOS back to the defaults for the new memory.
