^^ This is gcc crashing rather than a compilation error. also
compiling kernel/sched shouldn't have anything to do with the
framebuffer.

There are known issues relating to the frame buffer console:

So even if you manage to compile it you'll still have problems running with it.

I'd diff your .config with the def_config and see what is different.
Perhaps your menuconfig changed some other options.
