Sig11 generally indicates bad RAM or overheating or some faulty
hardware. This is an FAQ. Read the lkml FAQ.

Not sure what you mean however no part of the linux kernel ever
uses glibc at all. It is not possible to do so in fact.

Some of the programs like menuconfig do, but that isn't the
kernel, and doesn't apply...

Your hardware is likely faulty, especially if it conks out in a
different spot each time.
