It sounded to me like Thomas was just suggesting that the ppc64 patch might be causing configure to accidentally return a false positive on ppc32 machines, not that it was doing anything wrong on ppc64 machines, or is that how you read him too? OK. In any case, it seems like trying to build on a ppc32 host with the ppc64 patch temporarily omitted will at least let us know if that alleviates the segfault. I'll take care of this. I have the necessary hardware for testing. Cheers, -- Jérôme Marant

I'll take care of this. I have the necessary hardware for testing. Oh, that's great. I was attempting it on voltaire, but it doesn't have the build deps installed, and so I had to ask debian-admin to add them. However, if you can handle the testing, then we won't have to wait on them to respond.
