>Description:
	
Normaly I log when I build the new sources after integration and check for
targets which did not build. This time I found some segmanetation faults
in the /src/gnu/* every time a standard xxx library was build, e.g.:

===> gdb/bfd
cc -O -I/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/gdb/bfd/arch/m68k -I/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/gdb/bfd  -
I/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/gdb/bfd/../include -Werror  -c /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/gdb/bf
d/trad-core.c
building standard bfd library
Segmentation fault - core dumped
ranlib libbfd.a

or:
cc -O -I/usr/src/gnu/libexec/uucp/libunix/../common_sources  -DOWNER=\"uucp\" -D
SBINDIR=\"/usr/libexec/uucp\" -Werror  -c /usr/src/gnu/libexec/uucp/libunix/tcp.
c
building standard unix library
nm: cohtty.o: no name list
Segmentation fault - core dumped
ranlib libunix.a


Strange enough that make does not fail with Error. I found a join.core in each
of those dirs:

-rw-------  1 root  wheel  237924 Jan 14 22:51 join.core
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
#0  0x326c in ?? ()


This happens on hp300, amiga and i386. I tryed to rebuild join, but this did
not change anything. I also tryed to `make cleandir` in the above dirs -
no change.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
Try to build the current tree on an m68k machine.

>Fix:
	
No idea, sorry. :-( Maybe this came with the lite2 integration.
