thank you all, I appreciate all your help
I was just basically interested if I should report this. I thought, the
"configure" script is responsible (among other things) to check if the *nix
system is legitimate enough so that the compiled program will run.
If make immediately segfaulting, means the *nix system is messed up (despite
that configure succeeds), then I will just use 3.81 there, it does compile and
run.
I don't really need to fix that *nix system, it is just a temporary thing.
Thank you

Subject: Re: ./configure Make sources runs, but compiled make segfaults - is
this a bug?
Mark,
I guess that maybe in your chroot you don't have gdb or strace or
valgrind or whatever?
Does your build of make crash when run outside the chroot? If it
does then you might be able to get it into a more normal situation.
Dan's idea about using ldd and checking the help are good too as they
might indicate where things are going wrong without needing any
special tools.
Regards,
Tim
