This is the first point in the build where the built Guile executable is actually run, so the problem here may be generic (on powerpc) and not necessarily connected with the snarf-check-and-output-texi function. To investigate or help us understand more, you could: - arrange to get a core dump (maybe with 'ulimit -c unlimited') - use meta/gdb-uninstalled-guile, and then the 'core-file' command inside GDB, to look at that core dump - in particular, use 'thread apply all bt' to get backtraces. Thanks, Neil
