I revived my SunFire v240, installed an up-to-date Sid on it and tried
to reproduce this bug. But I am no longer able to get the mentioned
error with the current gcc-4.4 from Sid.

haveged compiles, links and runs in both 32bit and 64bit (-m64) mode.
A quick check with the included crypto tests also shows no apparent
error in the resulting binaries.

I believe this bug will vanish if the dependency on gcc-4.3 is removed.
On i386/amd64 haveged will have to get compiled using "-O0", because of
the segfault still occurring on these archs.

Grüße,
Sven.
