Well, I signed up for an account, transferred the m4 sources to one of the 
alpha ev7's, and the build chokes on perl.c with the `cannot specify -o with 
-c or -S and multiple compilations' error you reported last week :-(  I think 
this is some problem with gcc vs DEC ld...

Next, I tried `configure CC=cc', and the build completed, and the testsuite 
showed the same test failures you reported, but in the testsuite.log I get 
`libiconv has no entry points'.  No SEGV, no core dump. Bah! :-(

Finally, I tried `configure CC=cc --disable-nls', but despite the lack of 
internationalisation, I still get iconv errors in the logs. :'(

What configure and compiler options did you use to generate the SEGV?  I can't 
find a way to reproduce it...

Cheers,
        Gary.
