I notice with my machine (not overclocked, BTW) that kernel
compilation is a CPU-bound process. It really works the CPU at the
max for several minutes. If you are overclocking your CPU then
building a kernel, I would not be surprised if it generated excessive
heat or if it lost/corrupted data because it doesn't have enough time
in a cycle to properly transfer it. I would recommend not
overclocking the machine or do your compilation on a different
machine.
