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?
