            Bug ID: 241258
           Summary: Error building 12.1-RC1 from 11.3, "jevents" program
                    getting a sigsegv in /usr/src/lib/libpmc/pmu-events
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: sigsys@gmail.com

buildworld failed like that while trying to build 12.1-RC1 (as of r353451) on a
11.3-RELEASE-p1 system:

--- libpmc_events.c ---
./pmu-events/jevents "x86" /usr/src/lib/libpmc/pmu-events/arch libpmc_events.c
Segmentation fault
*** [libpmc_events.c] Error code 139

make[5]: stopped in /usr/src/lib/libpmc
1 error

With this change it doesn't fail anymore:

                --e;
        if (*e == '.')
                *e = 0;

Dunno if the problem happens because of something specific to this system but
this loop is wrong nevertheless (it could access before the string if it was
empty or all spaces).
