In my experience if compiles keep crapping out with SIGSEGV, etc. it implies
the motherboard is not to be trusted.
It could be bad cache memory, but if turning off the cache (or using "real good RAM")
doesn't fix it, toss the motherboard. You could try playing with memory and other
timing parameters but don't waste too much time on it. Assuming you want a
working system more than you want That Particular System to work.

It's not the contents of the config file.
