You don't mention whether you're using PC Minix or ST Minix, but I wrote 
about a similar problem in ST Minix in trying to recompile the kernel.
Essentially, the cc error messages can become very misleading when not
enough RAM is available. I found that a 512K RAM disk for root is too much
for a 1 Meg 1040 ST. I was able to successfully recompile the kernel only
when I re-did the mkfs for the root partition to a reduced size of 256K.
