soinit.c and Mozilla segfaults

[Hugh Caley]

Hello Franz.  I'm having some problems running builds of Mozilla, and it seems
to be related to glibc.  I hope you don't mind me asking you about this...I'm
using the glibc v2.1.2 and gcc 2.95.1 from your directory on
dev.linuxppc.org.  This happens on builds of their main tree, and also with
the "milestone" builds.

Using gdb, I get my first error here:

Program received signal ?, Unknown signal.
0xf6a1fe4 in __syscall_rt_sigsuspend () at soinit.c:59
soinit.c:59: No such file or directory.

I don't have a file called soinit.c on my machine.

The output of bt is :

I'm not any kind of programmer, unfortunately.  Is this something to do with
glibc?
