My experience on building lily is that the current debian unstable g++
produces a binary that segfaults; debian stable g++ compiles it fine,
which leads me to suspect that g++ is at fault, rather than lilypond
itself. Since I barely read C++, let alone write it, that should be
treated only as a suspicion. This was reproduceable across different
computers, incidentally, so it's probably not just a random glitch.
