kaffe 0.9.0 segfaults: Linux 2.0.30, libc 5.4.7

[Sirtaj Singh Kang]

Hi.. 

I'm shiny new on this list, so please excuse transgressions.

I have been trying to compile kaffe 0.9.0 on my 486 with linux 2.0.30,
libc 5.4.7 and gcc 2.7.2.1.

kaffe and it's assorted bundled goodies compile without a warning, but
running kaffe dies immediately.

I tried debugging it, but it seems to die before it even reaches the first
line of main()... 

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x40009f9d in flag_verify ()

I looked for flag_verify in the code but it doesn't seem to be a function
call at all...

I'll upgrade my libc and try again. But please let me know if there is
anything I'm doing blatantly wrong.

Attached is the output of strace kaffe, if it will be of any help.

-Taj.
