I have been trying off an on for the last couple of weeks to rebuild my
system via make world & friends (I have never done this before).
Currently, I have 3.4-RELEASE, and am trying to move to STABLE (RELENG_3).
cvsup appears to work as expected. 

Basic system info: AMD k6-3, 128MB Ram, SCSI disk system.  Other than this
issue, the machine has worked flawlessly, albeit under light loads.

Whenever I do a make buildworld, I always fail.  For instance:

cc -O -pipe -I/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc/cc_int/../../../../contrib/gcc
-I/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc/cc_int/../../../../contrib/gcc/config
-DFREEBSD_NATIVE -DDEFAULT_TARGET_VERSION=\"2.7.2.3\"
-DDEFAULT_TARGET_MACHINE=\"i386-unknown-freebsd\"
-I/usr/obj/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc/cc_int/../cc_tools
-I/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/usr/include -c
/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc/cc_int/../../../../contrib/gcc/expr.c -o expr.o
{standard input}: Assembler messages:

...

and:

cc -O -pipe -D_GNU_SOURCE -I- -I. -I/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils/ld/i386
-I/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils/ld

and:

To me, funky fails at differing times when compiling identical source
points to a hardware problem, although it doesn't look like memory
problems that are described in the Handbook (Signal 11).  In the mailing
list archives, I saw similar assembler type errors described with K6
chips (a K6 bug), but it looks like these were resolved by AMD a long time
ago.

I guess my questions are:
1) Is this a hardware issue?  Could it be anything else?
2) If it is a hardware issue, any ideas what it might be?  Can I narrow
the options down further without buying new hardware?
3) Am I forgetting something really stupid?

Thanks in advance.
