I don't know the exact reason, but I'l give some suggestions:

1. recursive #include, as when a.h #includes "b.h", and b.h #includes "a.h"
   or just a.h #includes "a.h"...

2. memory corruption. the compilation of all sources could had caused the
   corrupted cache to be discarded.

3. corruption of disk transfers
   (by means of an invalid selected DMA or ilegal cable)
