Re: make install makes bad binaries

What does it print before "Killed"? I can't think of how to coerce that, 
and only that, out of a binary. It is a binary, right? (elfdump and/or 
file?)

My guess would be that something in your build environment changed. The 
fact that your binaries are in /usr/local without setting an RPATH is 
pretty suspect, for one thing -- I'd assume you put your libs in 
/usr/local/lib.

If it's really not printing anything other than "Killed," you'll need 
another tool to get observability. ldd comes to mind as a first step.
