It was reported by joshk on IRC, but I'm not still clear where this
problem come from. Example:
ultra30:~> dpkg -s libc6 | grep Version
Version: 2.3.2-3
ultra30:~> dpkg -s dpkg | grep Version
Version: 1.10.10
ultra30:~> dpkg
Bus error
dpkg works well with some options, but only typing `dpkg' breaks with
bus error. It's not related with the existence of libc6-sparc64.
From tracking with gdb, dpkg breaks setjmp()/longjmp(). The
mysterious thing is that it works fine to compile gcc-3.2/gcc-3.3
without -O2 optimization. It's also ok with glibc 2.3.1-17, IIRC.
