Need more information

In issue #21, it was reported that 4.0c crashed with the provided binary, but works when rebuilt.

I need additional information.

Any messages provided during the crash
the output of /proc/cpu
glibc's level.
And if possible the location of the crash. This might be possible running gdb and capturing the information when the crash happens.
```
gdb {path to the provided spitbol binary}
set args {your program}
run
info registers
bt
```

Looking at the information that was appended in #21 it appears the problem is with my build environment. The build is a static build and statically includes the stdc library and the math library that was built on my system targeting my native CPU, which appears to include additional instructions than the CPU that is having problems.

I believe that rebuilding using non-static libraries should fix the problem. There has been an issue with spitbol as non-static, but I believe that I've now solved that problem. I will need to do additional testing to verify that the fix I have will work.
