There is an acknowledged bug in the K6 that causes this
behaviour. The last I heard about it, AMD was able to
reproduce the compile failures under Linux and were
actively looking for a solution. Any users who are having
problems with Linux under an AMD processor should
contact the company -- they really seem interested in
taking care of any issues that users uncover.
