Well the compiler shouldn't crash, regardless of whether you do or don't 
use a separate build directory. It was probably not your fault. If you 
run into that again, it would be great if you could report it to the 
compiler developers. It is not so rare to run into compiler bugs and 
reporting those is an important service to the open-source community, R 
included.
