There's a small note about this in Makefile.conf - on Linux, something
in BLT crashes when bltGrAxis.c is compiled with -O. (Not clear if
it's a gcc bug or a BLT bug). The solution is to build BLT, but make
sure to compile that one file without -O.

You're better off compiling BLT yourself, because of that bug. If
you're running an a.out system, just built a static library and use it
(be sure to throw away any libBLT.a, libBLT.sa, or libBLT.so.* that
were left from whatever you installed before). If you're running an
ELF system, I can send you compiled libraries that will work and have
shared versions. It's easy enough to get it to build, you have to hack
the configure script to do shared libraries.
