It should be a compiler bug.  Do you have a package that gives
you kgcc?  You could try using that compiler by runnning:

    make clean
    CC=kgcc ./configure
    make

You could also try turning off the optimizer:

    make clean
    OPT=-g ./configure
    make

If you still get a segfault then it is possible that there is a
bug in Python.
