Panic while building XFree86

I've been trying to compile XFree86 4.0.1 recently (tried 4 times
already) and my computer keeps throwing kernel panics whenever I do
so.  It usually happens after the compile has been going for a while.
I think it has something to do with the fan coming/not coming on, but
I'm not absolutely sure.  The first three attempts occured using
kernel 2.2.17-pre9-ben1, the fourrth with 2.2.17-pre10-ben2.  Here's
the messages I got from /var/log/messages after the crashes:

If anyone has any insight into why this happens, I'd like to know.

What bootloader are you using ? If you are using BootX, that may explain
the problem (but I would be surprised your machine boots at all with BootX).
