[Debian GNUstep maintainers] Bug#362192: bus error in autogsdoc on some architectures

[Jurij Smakov]

Hi,

I was able to track this failure down to /usr/lib/GNUstep/System/Tools/gdnc:

jurij at debian:~$ /usr/lib/GNUstep/System/Tools/gdnc
Bus error
jurij at debian:~$

After rebuilding gnustep-base with debugging symbols, gdb produced the 
following stack trace:

(gdb) run
