Well at least it doesn't with the distributed 1.3.1 base.tgz. (That's
the one I am installing by the way as I thought that's what I was wanting 
to compile too )
I allready got the same error from the Xmac68k.OSFA server under 1.3 and
1.3E. (I only switched back from current because I need the thing working 
now and I'd like it to be a bit speedier (the -m68040 option for 
compiling the whole system :-( )

How could I figure that one out ? By the way is there a posibility to say 
what adress the Server was trying to access at 0x40a0 ? That's where it
segfaulted according to the debugger.
