Is it repeatable? i.e. If you run 'make' again, do you get the same error at the same place? If you answer 'no', swap out all your RAM and try again. Unexplained sig11's are the classic first symptom of failing memory, soon followed by filesystem corruption and data loss. I wish I'd paid attention when I had my first weird crash. :(
In my experience bad memory causing signal 11 can even be very repeatable. If you haven't tried a memory test yet, memtest86 and its derivatives are a good place to start. memtest86, memtest86+, and a bunch of other hardware diagnostics can be found on this (free as in beer) cd: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ j.
