I've just downloaded the 1.3.b-2 source tarball from the GNU page. 
Unfortunately, it runs into an error during make: "Creating C for
installation compiler"  -> "Type check, generate [...] signal 11 caught
...".  I'm running Debian Linux.  I think I remember this was mentioned
earlier.  Was there a quick fix?  (Sorry if this has been asked many times
before.)

Hmm, I'm curious, is there any more information available?  Is it
currently something that one could poke around with?
