OK, I tried other memory DIMMs: no dice. I then tried to recompile make
locally: that worked! (rebuilt the .deb, in fact).

So, the question that remains is: why on earth am I the only that one
whose make segfaults when building kernels? What is wrong (if anything)
with woody's make package?

Clues, anybody?

Cheers
