Agreed; there is probably something else about your system that changed. Have you tried rebooting the machine and then building the kernel with and without the ethernet plugged in? If I were you, I would try to write down anything I've done to the machine that may or may not have made the tools work in case whatever change you made is only temporary (and will get undone upon reboot).
I asked earlier but do you have a lot of free disk space on the drive you're building on? If you've been running out of room on your hard drive during builds that would explain the seemingly random crashes (b/c the tool can't create files it needs to).

I rebooted the system and still works only without the ethernet cable connectesd
Currently on my machine I got an SSD drive of 1TB with 600GB free space. I also checked during the successful compilation and my resource utilization is ok for that machine (e.g. about 20GB of RAM out of 64 and CPU usage on all cores)
