Aargh. In the process of trying to create a log of the failed build
to send to the maintainer, instead of getting the errors I've quoted
before, I've gotten the error I orignally found: strip failing with a
`Memory exhausted' error. I've run strings on the dumped binary, and
it's full of chunks of source, and cores immediately on startup.
Maybe I should just keep an ext2 partition around for building emacs
packages.
