conftest are test programs created during the building of a package to 
test for features. They are designed to fail because that's their job. 
However, this looks like a crash instead, which is unexpected. However, 
the parent package doesn't seem to have suffered as a result (and the 
report does not say what package it belonged to). Probably safe to 
ignore unless it happens frequently (and then it's probably not a Fink 
but a system issue).
