Hmm. That is a bit odd. That library comes from the gfortran install and is a
standard gcc runtime library. It's probably getting picked up for the extension
modules that use -L/usr/local/lib . Not great, but shouldn't be harmful unless
if you really want Universal binaries that will run on PPC Macs, too.

I don't know. Try running it under gdb to get a C stacktrace so we can tell
where the segfault comes from. The lines starting with (gdb) are prompts where
you should enter the lines I give below:
