Due to the nature of the error messages, I'm assuming that perhaps the latest version of nasm has a problem or gogo needs to be updated. gcc engine/i386/makecfg.c -o makecfg ./makecfg > global.cfg \rm -f makecfg nasm -i./engine/i386/ -f elf -D__unix__ engine/i386/cpua.nas -o cpua.o nasm -i./engine/i386/ -f elf -D__unix__ engine/i386/choose_table.nas -o choose_table.o nasm -i./engine/i386/ -f elf -D__unix__ engine/i386/gogo2_fht.nas -o gogo2_fht.o nasm -i./engine/i386/ -f elf -D__unix__ engine/i386/psy3dn.nas -o psy3dn.o nasm -i./engine/i386/ -f elf -D__unix__ engine/i386/psysse.nas -o psysse.o nasm -i./engine/i386/ -f elf -D__unix__ engine/i386/quantizea.nas -o quantizea.o nasm -i./engine/i386/ -f elf -D__unix__ engine/i386/clka.nas -o clka.o nasm -i./engine/i386/ -f elf -D__unix__ engine/i386/fftsse.nas -o fftsse.o nasm -i./engine/i386/ -f elf -D__unix__ engine/i386/mdctsse.nas -o mdctsse.o nasm -i./engine/i386/ -f elf -D__unix__ engine/i386/psymodela.nas -o psymodela.o nasm -i./engine/i386/ -f elf -D__unix__ engine/i386/quant3dn.nas -o quant3dn.o nasm -i./engine/i386/ -f elf -D__unix__ engine/i386/vars.nas -o vars.o make: *** [vars.o] Segmentation fault make: *** Deleting file `vars.o' !!!

As pointed out by Chris Platt in Bug #27819 this error seems caused by the -f elf flag when using nasm-0.98.37
I'll try backing down the version of nasm I have tonight and report back results. But it does indeed look like the same type of problem.
Backing down to nasm-0.98.36 resulted in a successful compile. Thank you very much. Guy
Thanks, closing this, then.
Re-closing.
