The i686-pc-linux-gnu build of the assembler from binutils 2.16 crx-port
creates a segmentation fault with the assembly file below. This time the
problem is located in libiberty/xexit.c where the function pointer named
_xexit_cleanup in line 44 is NOT initialized to NULL.

The following patch for xexit.c (Revision 1.7) fixes this problem:
