Try building the port again; if it fails in a different place and 
you're seeing signal 11's (SIGSEGV), it's almost certainly hardware 
problems like poor cooling or bad memory, not a bug with GCC.

Try running memtest.org's checker overnight and see whether that shows 
any problems.

Otherwise, please provide more information including *which* port, and 
the exact error messages (give about 10 lines of context)...
