The reason it appears to be dying is a floating point exception. After
MANY building patches, I'm rebuilding it with -mieee, which should handle
the exceptions. My patches, fyi, are mostly disabling the forcing of the
"egcc" detection (we use egcs, but as a primary compiler..hence gcc/g77)
and also to enable -mieee in this latest iteration.
I should have another test build done within the hour...I'll let you know
when I get it working :)
