Compiling a large project (like the kernel) stresses the processor and
memory subsystem.

So it could be that your system is overheating (processor case), or that
it hits a corrupted memory page (memory case).

For testing the memory you have memtest86/memtest86+ that already comes in
Fedora Core install cds. (Although I doubt that's the problem. I'd expect
some SIGSEGVs first.)

For the processor case, start compiling the kernel and keep checking the
system's temperature (via ACPI or lm_sensors).
