I believe I've found and fixed the source of this problem.  It
turns out that older toolchains can't cope with 'ld -nostdlib'
and silently produce complete crap instead of doing the right
thing.  I'd recently switched to using 'ld' to link the libraries
instead of gcc, and had left in the -nostdlib flag which worked
fine on my system.   But with older toolchains it was just not a
good thing.  Anyways, I've fixed thing up in CVS now, so the
segfaults should be all gone now...  

Try again?
