According to conventional wisdom, when gcc segfaults on a big compilation job (e.g., the Linux kernel), it could be a sign of a transient memory error; gcc exercises the RAM so much that the error rate on a typical computer's memory chips can have a practical effect. You can either buy more expensive RAM or run the build again and hope for better luck.
