The FreeBSD install I'm using had previously been running on a generic Dell Pentium 200 and lived through a half-dozen buildworlds without breaking.

Since I haven't seen a anyone else's world breaking this way, I'm assuming that this is a hardware problem -- but what kind? Memory? I have a spare Pentium 166 CPU and extra SDRAM I can swap, any clues as to where to start?

Memory is likely the problem, but also look at the L2 cache and anything else that may cause memory corruption.

One of my BSD box was having SIGSEGV's when compiling and occasional reboots. I have had no instability since replacing the L2 cache

You might also check the cpu temperature during the compile. Using a K6-3/450, my cpu cooler was getting quite hot to the touch during the make and would exit with signal 10 or signal 11. I finally took to cover off the case and set up a box fan to force additional air into the case.
