CFLAGS=-O2 -pipe -g
CPUTYPE?=ev56

helped - it now spits out reams of unaligned accesses and a large
number of "junk pointer in free() - too high" messages and finally
dies with a segmentation violation in FcCharSetDestroy() trying to
load a long from an address 4 bytes below the end of a segment.

It looks like the situation with gcc has changed so that -O2 is
generating more correct code than -O (at least for mozilla).

I'll try that.

Thanks for that.  1.3.1 seems fairly fragile and I can't get 1.4 to
compile at all.
