	It could be making assumptions about alignment that are not valid
	under arm32. Your best bet is probably to bite the bullet and
	compile it -g. You can start by just compiling the file containing
	main() and then link -g to get an idea of where it dies, then
	working out which other files need to be -g. I'd be inclined to
	leave it compiling for a few days and just take the lot -g :)
	
	Anyone out there with an arm32 box with lots of memory who could
	compile up a -g version for Andrew (I've only got 32MB :)
