Well, the 1.3.95 kernel now is able to compile itself on my system.
When I wrote the original message, it would not. I went and read
Roger Wolff web page (http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/) and tried the
suggestted course of action to determine if the sig11 problem is
hardware or software. He suggestted recompiling the kernel to see
if the compile stops at the same place the sig11 occurs. He also
suggest doing a dd of 32 MB (in my case) of your harddisk data to
/dev/null. Well I have done the dd but the 1.3.95 kernel compiles
do not fail anymore, and have not failed since I last rebooted.
I have done the kernel compile five times so far with no problems.
My system will continue to compile the kernel over and over until
morning, but I do not think it will fail. Go figure!
