Looks like gcc flaked out.

The only thing I know about is "fatal signal 11".  This usually means you 
have flaky RAM; gcc tends to abuse RAM, so if your RAM is bad, it will 
generate lots of signal 11's.

This is different.  The only thing I can think of is to reinstall the 
latest gcc.  (Here's where you'll likely want RPM!)

Nope.  The make error is simply reflecting the gcc error.  When a compile 
returns an error, make stops the build process, assuming (rightly so) 
that there's a problem.
