I have in fact found a solution.  Try this:

This seems to sort things out, at the expense of slowing down
the build slightly.

Information gleaned from:

http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/DeveloperTools/Reference/XcodeUserDefaultRef/100-Xcode_User_Defaults/UserDefaultRef.html

I did investigate the problem in a litle more depth by sampling
the hung tasks (as, cc1plus) in Activity Monitor.  The problem
seems to arise when the Mac tried to open 2 files on the file
server simultaneously.  It looks like there is a bug in Apple's
SMB client code that prevents the I/O operations from ever
completing when this happens.  As a result, you can't kill the
tasks and other file I/O operations also tend to hang so you are
forced to reboot.

It used to happen with Tiger too.  I have not tested this with
Snow Leopard.

Yes, from time to time I have the same problem here. My
configuration
is also OS X 10.5.8, Win XP SP3 as the server.

In general I've found the SMB client in OS X to be very buggy, my solution is to have a share available as both SMB and Appletalk.  If the share resides on a 'nix server then it's easy to setup netatalk in an afternoon.  If the share is on a WIN200X server the workaround is a little more bulky - have a n intermediate'nix server (other then OS X Server) mount the share SMB share then export that mounted share via netatalk.  It's ugly, but effective.
