Building the xboard package on ppc causes rpmbuild to segfault.
Created attachment 114895 [details] build log Cannot reproduce.
For whatever it's worth, I've built on x86_64 and i386 without failure
It made it through the fedora extras ppc build - see <http://extras64.linux.duke.edu/needsign/development/xboard/4.2.7-9/ppc/>
Can't reproduce; jeremy, if you're still wanting to pursue this, some more information of your environment would be good...
This is on the g5 on my desk. Paul watched it happen repeatedly and since the machine is here, it should be easy enough for him to reproduce :-)
Closed for lack of input, rpmbuild worksforme on G5, several OS's.
