I just posted a patch for this problem on sourceforge.  Now the build
goes a lot farther, but ultimately crashes.  The crash is identical to
one that was earlier identified as being related to generational
garbage collection.  So I turned off generational GC and tried again,
only to have the build crash with a different segfault, which has also
been connected to garbage collection.

Maybe these problems have been fixed since the 2.49 release.  I tried
building with mercurial head, only to have a different build failure
because host_cpu_c_abi is set to "armel" instead of "arm" in makemake,
resulting in all of the ARM-specific code being skipped.  That's all
the time I have to mess with it today.  I'll try to patch that up
tomorrow.
