Would be nice to see the final compilation line this fails on, so the very 
long line above the "In file included" one. If there are no cpu specific 
selections there, then the compiler itself is at fault. Yes, hardware is a 
possibility, but I'd expect to see SIGSEGV much much sooner then SIGILL.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
