Countless CPU cycles later, I have now reinstalled my complete system with  
-march=native.

I had another problem to keep me amused - KMail decided I'd deleted the 
folder into which it receives all inbound mail. I hadn't, of course, but 
suddenly my 13000 mails were gone - vanished. So I had to create a new user 
and import them all from the previous day's backup. Tedium - yawn...

Still all my filters have gone though, and I'll have to define new ones as I 
need them. Oh well, I suppose it's about time I cleaned them out.

Back to the original theme, I'd been experimenting with -j and -l make 
options, and I suspect that was my real problem. All seems stable so far, so 
I'll watch with interest.
