The signal is SEGV. Your xterm is improperly pretending to be internationalized. It's pretending because there is bogus code in crt0.o that causes it to call setlocale() when XPG/3 and XPG/4 both say it shouldn't. Either don't try to run in an international environment... or use an xterm clone from contrib instead of xterm that really has been internationalized.
