  Compiler dies, but only under glibc-2.0.93 (under 2.0.7pre3 it's OK).

  Yes.  That is how I tracked it to strtok().  I want to chase it farther,
but I have to have debugging info left in glibc to do it.

  Ok, I modified my build script.  Eventually it'll do it.  (:

  We'll see what I have by tomorrow.
