seg fault at src/string/strlen.c:15

hi

I try to compile make-4.1 for i486,ppc,arm targets.
i486 seem ok. "make --version" runs and no problem.
for ppc and arm targets, both seg fault at exactly the same place.
I had to recompile musl-1.1.18 for both with "-g3" to narrow down the 
problem. it should be easy to reproduce. here is some outputs:

[ppc][1] cd /build/make-4.1; file make
make: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, PowerPC or cisco 4500, version 1 (SYSV), 
statically linked, not stripped
[ppc][1] cd /build/make-4.1; cp make make-4.1 
[ppc][1] cd /build/make-4.1; gdb make-4.1
