In my experience, that usually means failing RAM. I'd try running

Also out of memory might cause a segmentation fault. Dale, do you have a swap partition or file? At least three of the packages you mention are quite memory hungry, depending on your -j options in make.conf. You should see an OOM error in the syslog if
this is the case, is there any hint in it?
