I think this was a userland (libc? ld.so? no idea...) problem that has
since been fixed... yesterday, I upgraded to a 3.99.7 -current kernel,
and was still having problems getting build.sh distribution dying with
SIGILLs. I was persistent though and kept restarting the build until
it finally completed, and installed the new userland. Now the system
seems stable with either a uniprocessor or multiprocessor kernel :)
