gnustep-back: build failure on Leopard: Segmentation fault

I get the following segmentation fault on Leopard while compiling gnustep-back.

Making all for bundle libgnustep-back-012...

According to this posting, the issue might be a fault with the default version of gcc in the macports repository, or a problem with the one being picked to compile gnustep.  http://osdir.com/ml/lib.gnustep.user/2002-06/msg00030.html

As far as I can tell, plmerge call that is failing is part of the gnustep package.  http://www.gnu.org/software/gnustep/resources/documentation/Developer/Tools/Reference/plmerge.html

That posting is from 2002 and blames the problem on gcc 2.96. gnustep-back is not using a version of gcc that comes with MacPorts; it's using Apple's gcc 4.0 on Tiger and Leopard, and Apple's gcc 3.3 on Panther. So that message does not appear to be relevant to the problem.
