Well, the Makefile's guess is way off.  Your compiler is dying with a
segmentation violation (SIGSEGV).  This can be a program bug, or it
can be a hardware problem.  Since gcc doesn't normally die with
SIGSEGV, I'd guess hardware.  Can you compile anything else?

FWIW, I installed procmail a few days ago, and had no problems.
