At the present state of art it means only one - check your hardware -
especially external cache on your motherboard. If switching off external
cache in BIOS setup makes it compile without errors (but much slower), then
comply to your supplier. I do not know a better hardware test for a machine
than to compile a Linux kernel. You may just set the slowest mode and try.
To developers: may be Linux version of gcc should give similiar explanation
on that error ?
