Well I moved the debs I built on clubber to flubber and now I get the

I built (better: tried to build) emacs-21.3 on an up-to-date Debian
GNU/Hurd system using only Debian's hurd-libio-glibc.dpatch and
CFLAGS='-O0 -g -pipe'.
For those who have not yet seen it for theirselves:

So, the segmentation fault happens in glibc's malloc code.
I'll try to rebuild with a "fresher" glibc than Debian's one during the
next days.
The strange thing is that I had it partly working yesterday, i.e. I was
able to start emacs using 'env - TERM=$TERM emacs' and I'm quite sure
that I didn't change anything between yesterday and today. :-|
