sometimes the compiling of programmes failed randomly i'll take bison and bash for example now bison: if i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DPKGDATADIR=\"/usr/share/bison\" -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/share/locale\" -I. -I. -I.. -I../lib -I../lib -O2 -march=athlon-xp -MT scan-gram.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/scan-gram.Tpo" -c -o scan-gram.o scan-gram.c; \ then mv -f ".deps/scan-gram.Tpo" ".deps/scan-gram.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/scan-gram.Tpo"; exit 1; fi scan-gram.c: In function `gram_lex': scan-gram.c:2178: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate.

Random segfaults (while compiling) are usual indications, that your Ram is going berserk. Please use memtest to see if they are faulty.
yeah i'd tested my rams and found out that one of them is broken :( sorry for filing a bugreport on this.
