Running it through a debugger I saw that it was actually segfaulting in a library function, but just never showing any error messages. I eventually realised that the compile with optimizations had subtely broken it. Recompiling it with an additional -mfpmath=3Dsse sorted it, and mozilla worked. It would appear that fp code generation for athlon-xp is broken. If you have added any non-standard optimizations, you could try removing them and recompiling.
