Yep. This is exactly where it gives me "Illegal Instruction". I went
looking at what Debian and Red Hat do, but neither of them ship Pine 4.30.
So I guess that means the solution is to build it on an older machine and
package that up. I was able to build a working Pine 4.30 on my 21164
once, but when I tried it again the next day, I couldn't build it anymore.
I guess I let the magic smoke out of the build process.
I'll work on that and post a test version of a Pine package for people to
try out. If there are machines that it still doesn't work on, we'll find
an older machine and build it on that. Using compiler flags does not
appear to have any effect, by the way.
