I recommend trying to underclock your FSB: I had a very similar
problem back in '98 with a K6 sometimes failing gcc compiles with an
ICE: it turned out that I had a faulty memory module that ran fine at
slightly slower speeds.  So, instead of 100 MHz FSB * 2.66 CPU
multiplier = 266 MHz, I ran at 90 MHz FSB * 3 CPU = 270 MHz.  The
machine didn't feel appreciably slower, and gcc thereafter never
failed.

Cheers,
