Bizzare. I had exactly the same problem in reverse! That is, my linker
in /usr/bin was segfaulting there, but the one I had sequestered away on
my own path was fine. The results however, were similar -- my autobuild
scripts used to fail, while a manual 'gnumake bootstra' was working OK.

I bootstrapped Friday's sources on my Netwinder without a problem; both
with and without checking enabled.
What I'm most concerned about is that the autobuild at NetWinder.org is
still failing -- it seems to be showing all the hallmarks of using the
pre-fixed copy of reload1.c. Rod, can you check that it really is
building from the latest sources?
