After a successful build of irc/ircd-ratbox on i386 it fails to run...

Feb 17 10:08:08 rwsrv04 kernel: pid 28391 (ircd), uid 72: exited on signal 11
(core dumped)

This has been going on for a long time now. I have been working around this by
just adding "USE_GCC= yes" near the top of the Makefile on the only i386 server
we are still running. I would submit a patch but I cannot find the canonical
way of doing this in an arhitecture-specific way. The Porters Handbook seems to
be silent on the matter.

make(1) says that MACHINE_ARCH is available for testing architecture but I
cannot see that used in other ports. It looks like ARCH is the preferred
variable. ARCH is setup in bsd.port.mk but bsd.port.mk is what processes the
dependent USE_GCC variable. So, the following patch "works for me" but I leave
it to the ports gurus to do this according to the traditions of the rites of
the inner sanctum of ports committers.
