I have used system libsigsegv libffi and libltdl, because this is what the
Gentoo distribution uses, and their gnu-smalltalk package has the
ZeroDivide Exception problem (I have filed a bug report at
bugs.gentoo.org).

For 3.2.5 adding -no-pie solves fixes the problem.

For 72ada189aba0283c551ead16635c1983968080b8 I don't get the ZeroDivide exception.
