Segfaults in gcc are usually caused by bad RAM (<http://www.memtest86.com>)
or broken fans (CPU mostly). "Win* works fine" is of no consecuence, Linux
works your machine to its limits, Win* doesn't come close; Linux does
complain when something goes wrong, Win* just sweeps the error under the
rug and hopes all goes well.
