This is 100% reproducible, at the same location (vsyscall), which is strange because vsyscall didn't change AFAICS.
I'll build a gcc 3.4.2 without Fedora Core patches and see if the behavior persists.
But in the meantime, if anybody else knows what line of code causes this segfault, please speak up :)
As an experiment, I commented out the include of init.h and replaced the
__INITDATA and __FINIT with the .section and .previous. It then
compiled OK.
