Ok - on a 4.3.3.0 system, with 2 CPU's. gcc 2.95.2.

LibXML2 I had to install first, and then could do a make check. Don't have 
the history
anymore, but if you think it's important I'll redo it. It's working fine 
now though.

I compiled it like:
./configure \
--prefix=/home/mdev/local \
--with-html-dir=/home/mdev/public_html \
--enable-shared \
--with-mem-debug

Virtually the same for LibXSLT 1.0.7:
./configure \
--prefix=/home/mdev/local \
--with-html-dir=/home/mdev/public_html \
--enable-shared \
--with-mem-debug \
--with-libxml-prefix=/home/mdev/local

This also breaks on the auto-check. After install, the core dumps occur.
I then went into xsltproc/ under the main sourcetree and removed xsltproc:
$ make
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc  -g -O2  -o xsltproc  xsltproc.o 
../libxslt/libxslt.la ../libexslt/libexslt.la 
../breakpoint/libxsltbreakpoint.la -L/home/mdev/local/lib -lxml2 -lz -L/lib 
-liconv -lm -lm

xsltproc:       shell script  - sh (default shell)
$ cd .libs

$ file xsltproc
xsltproc:       executable (RISC System/6000) or object module not stripped

Then a make check and a lotta core dumps:

The thing that strikes me as odd, is that xsltproc is in .libs instead of 
libxsltproc.la or
something similar.
