I had compiled with -O2 and without -fno-strength-reduce. I just tried a make world again using just -O and I get the same trouble. I have re-compile the C compile first, and the tools built first in make world, so I do think it was a problem from my previous compile. This time I noticed when it first started giving trouble: it was just after installing the new libc. I confirmed this by noting that restoring just the shared libc fixes the man command. > > I restored things by backing up to my backup set of libs of about Jan > > 4, this fixed emacs.
