No, as the signal 11 happens on Altivec machines. Which version do you get an illegal instruction with doing what, under what circumstances?

It fails the same way here as recorded in the bug history. Adding -mabi=altivec to build tests/bench doesn't seem to make a difference here (I do wonder whether all fftw3 dependants were or will be built with it though...). Colin, which version of gcc-3.3 are you using? I noticed I still have the one from testing, not from sid. I wonder which version the buildd used, might be worth just retrying the build without changes. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | Debian (powerpc), X and DRI developer Software libre enthusiast | http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
