   I expect someone will want more data than this, but here's the initial
   report.  Same results from both a 32-bit gcc-4.2.3 and 64-bit gcc-4.3.5.

Thanks for the heads-up.  For these failing tests:

   FAIL: t180
   FAIL: t420
   FAIL: t470
   FAIL: t999

Could you please collect the respective TEST.d files from running

  $ cd tests
  $ make check VERBOSE=1 TESTS='t180 t420 t470 t999'

into a .tar.xz (or .tar.gz) and post that?  Also,
include the config.log file from the top-level dir.
We can figure out what went wrong, perhaps, w/ that.

In the meantime, if you are inclined, you can also try a 
development version.  The ‘master’ branch of the repo:

  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/rcs.git

should (in theory :-) always be buildable and pass "make check".
