Based on the information you've given, there can be only 2 possible cause:

1. The Makefile is somehow b0rken.

Evidence : 'ls' instead of 'ld'

2. Some file creation failed, causing the next step to fail.

Please post the output of 'df -i'. I once ran out of inodes during kernel compile, even when the filesystem (ext4) was created with IIRC 100'000-something inodes (and still having several gigabytes of free space).

Nowadays, I put /usr/src and portage's tempdir on a reiserfs to prevent running out of inodes.

3. Something is wrong with your filesystem.

Especially if /usr/src is *already* on reiserfs. In this case, boot using SystemRescueCD and do an offline fsck on the partition containing /usr/src

4. Swapfile / Swap partition problems.

Even with enough RAM, sometimes gcc just wants a swap. Post the output of 'swapon -s' please.

And there's also the possibility that somehow the swap gets b0rked. Try turning off swap, rebuild the swap, and turning it back on.
