Ok, this is even more obscure than I was expecting. :)
I checked in a fix for the powerpc pt-initfini that may have been
a lurking disaster waiting to happen. But that was unrelated.
It crashes because the pthreads startup stuff uses strverscmp on the
kernel version string from uname in init_rtsigs, and this is happening
before the locale tsd state has been initialized. That was because
sysdeps/powerpc/elf/libc-start.c lacked some of the changes made to the
generic version of the last however many whatevers. Port maintainer
lying down on the job, I guess. ;-)
With that fixed, the test is ok. I think Ulrich just cut 2.2.93 before
I put that fix in, so use the current cvs sources.
