In the latter bug report, someone tracked it down to a bug in linux-2.6-execshield.patch (kernel) and provided a fix. To find out if that fix cures the modsign problem as well, I first built a c5 i686 kernel in a vmware guest and made sure it ended up with a segfault. Then I applied the fix and tried again. This time the rebuild finished without any issue. Testing it only once may not give us anything conclusive, but it is a good start. Anyway, I would like to add this observation to the above bug report. In the meantime if this is tested by more people, it will be helpful. David, could you try it?
