+*** OpenBSD 4.0 macppc: Segfault during dumping.
+
+The build aborts with signal 11 when the command `./temacs --batch
+--load loadup bootstrap' tries to load files.el.  This seems to be a
+GCC problem specific to the macppc architecture, possibly only
+occurring with some versions of GCC.  A workaround seems to be to
+reduce the level of compiler optimization used during the build (from
+-O2 to -O1).
