Finally replying to this:
I did use that system for a fresh build, but the sigfpe problem was
present in the tests for both bash and check (building from xorg).
Then I booted the latest system (last night) and the check tests
succeeded.
Today I've been running the check tests at various places. All
succeeded until (and including) completing my build of xorg.
But I've now rebooted and run startx (with fluxbox, elogind and
rxvt-unidoe) : the check tests FAIL. I've been seeing this since we
first started to use 'check' a couple of years ago (at that point
I'd given up on trying to understand the bash tests, but looking
back I was getting the sigfpre failure then, so the common features
are startx (that was suid xorg in those days), and rxvt-unicode
(in those days I'll have been using icewm when building the next
system).
I'll reboot in a minute to retry without xorg and rxvt-unicode.
In fact I just closed X and used a tty - tests passed.
So, I've been looking in the wrong place, it's embedded perl in
rxvt-unicode: google found

and earlier in that thread was the link to the still-open issue
at perl: https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/12349
The issue has been around since 2001 ??!!
Perhaps it's time for you to use another terminal emulator.
