Does the error always occur in the same place?  If not, then it is 
possible you have a hardware fault.

A segmentation fault results from bad memory access, which could be a 
program(mer) fault, but in something as well developed as GCC, they 
ought never to happen.

If it is a hardware fault, the likely culprits are memory and disk.  Do 
you have any interesting messages in /var/log/messages?
