Subject: Pine 4.58 on powerpc linux

I have an old PowerMac 7500 with a 604e processor running linux and I 
had some difficulty building a working Pine 4.58.  I tried a lot of 
different configurations with and without SSL.  The build would 
complete with a few warnings, but when I tried to execute the pine 
binary, it would return a segmentation fault error and the 
.pine-debug1 would be empty.  (pine would output the help message or 
configuration if I executed pine -h or pine -conf; pico and pilot 
worked fine)

I finally got a working pine by building without debugging:

./build DEBUG=-g lnp

I have no idea why it worked like that, but thought others in my 
situation might find it to be of interest.  Here's what I built with:

[root@localhost pine4.58]# cc --version

Alternatively, we hope that this patch will fix the problem without the
need to turn off debugging. Thanks.
