Python 2.1.2 regression crash on Linux/Sparc

[Doug McNaught]

I have an UltraSparc running Linux (Red Hat 6.2 + erratea updates).  I
would love to get Zope running on it.  

I got Python 2.1.2, and did 'configure --with-threads'.  The make goes
fine.  When I run the regression test, I get:

...
skipping 'fpectl' extension (up-to-date)
skipping 'zlib' extension (up-to-date)
skipping 'linuxaudiodev' extension (up-to-date)
skipping '_tkinter' extension (up-to-date)
running build_scripts
not copying /home/doug/src/Python-2.1.2/Tools/scripts/pydoc (up-to-date)
find ./Lib -name '*.py[co]' -print | xargs rm -f
PYTHONPATH= ./python -tt ./Lib/test/regrtest.py -l
make: *** [test] Segmentation fault (core dumped)
PYTHONPATH= ./python -tt ./Lib/test/regrtest.py -l
make: *** [test] Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Here's a GDB backtrace--any wisdom?  Glibc version is 2.1.3.
