OK. Context again (since I clipped preceding notes): 386SX/20 nfsroot,
getting SIGILL on lots of processes, math emulation is enabled, ls and
glibc were compiled with '-march=i386 -mcpu=i386' to be sure.
I include two gdb dumps below, one from ls, one from mount, both
died with SIGILL. If these were indeed illegal instructions on 386,
I'll take my woes to the glibc folks and stop bothering y'all.
