solved: segfault attempting to compile 2.2.1

[David Ford]

I've found it.  glibc 2.2.1, will not compile with CFLAGS="-pipe", it will 
segfault in the sunrpc directory.  If you
add -O2 to the CFLAGS it will compile fine.

gcc version 2.95.2, binutils version 2.10.91 (with BFD 2.10.0.33)

So it looks like gcc 2.95.2 is possibly miscompiling when no optimization is 
requested.  GCC is installed with the
default specs file and prefix of /usr.

#  using "mt-frag"
