I saw notes that some Cyrix CPU's are incompatible with some particular
motherboards with resulting GCC crashes (Linux were mentioned there, but I
don't think it's a serious difference):

Disappearing problems when CPU internal cache is disabled also point to
hardware problems

If it's a real incompatibility replacing CPU by very similar one may not
help
