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.

Sounds like you have buggy hardware. I routinely use GCC to try to break
machines because it is so CPU/Memory intensive. Because of the massive amount
of work gcc does, it will push out bugs/problems in your hardware. I would
recommend you look into it further. Overheating? Bad memory? Byggy chipset?
Cheap mobo?
Even if the system *seems* stable, I wouldn't trust it. You may have a VERY
subtle hardware problem if the system seems stable otherwise. A normal
program might only crash 1/1000 times with MCE where GCC will do it 1/10.
Check out your hardware then reply back if that doesn't fix it.
I tried to look up the error code, but man those proccessor spec manuals will
run circles around your head sometimes. The best I could come up with is that
your processor should never return MCE ;) MCE indicates some pretty heavy
trouble with data maniupulation.
