Running "make check" results in 2 test failures without the use of 
libsigsegv.

./../build-aux/test-driver: line 112:  5311 Illegal instruction     "$@" 
>> "$log_file" 2>&1
FAIL: test-sigsegv-catch-stackoverflow1
./../build-aux/test-driver: line 112:  5318 Illegal instruction     "$@" 
>> "$log_file" 2>&1
FAIL: test-sigsegv-catch-stackoverflow2

With the use of libsigsegv, all 19 tests pass.
The patch is still required in both cases as a build fix.

Tested on 10.4 PowerPC with GCC 4.0.1.

Updated version of the patch attached.
