Well i got it right now . I's running it on a VBox(UP) and it had too 
little memory i guess . And sorry for using the term crash there , the 
make process was actually stopped because it ran out of memory and swap 
.  There's a shell after i pressed the Ctrl-c . So the problem was not 
with the kernel . Then i increased the memory  to 512M and the process 
was completed in 9 hours .
