BUG: 2.6.0 non fatal recoverable errors crash gcc

BUG: 2.6.0 non fatal recoverable errors crash gcc

[Tommy Faasen]

Hi,

I'm not subscribed to this newsgroup, but i'll try to read the follow-up 
messages if any.

When my machine is doing big compiles like the kernel or mythtv , 
gcc/g++ crashes.
This happens after syslog tell me  that there is a recoverable error 
(see output below).
This happened several times but I don't know why and what I can do about 
it ..
The machine seems to be very stable, but it could be a hardware problem 
i guess.

I'm using a stock 2.6.0 kernel on a duron 1300 on a via kt133a chipset 
and has 640MB memory, extra information can be found below, if you need 
more information please let me know.

It is. MCE's are an early sign of hardware going flaky.
Inadequate power, poor cooling etc can also trigger them.
