>Description:

Building lang/mercury hangs because it runs a test program as part
of configure that loops infinitely.

This is the test program. When compiled without options, the program
exits. But when compiled with -O it hangs on aarch64 and arm. On
amd64 it segfaults instead. This happens with various NetBSD and
gcc version.

----------------------------- snap -------------------------------

On amd64 the package builds besides crashing the test program.

If the test program is killed on aarch64, the build fails later
in the embedded boehm-gc code. This might be a consequence of the
configure test, but is more likely a separate problem.

>How-To-Repeat:

build lang/mercury on aarch64.
