The failing line would be this (which you can try to re-run):

    DST=build/Frameworks/SoftwareUpdate/fixtures make -C 
Frameworks/SoftwareUpdate/fixtures

Although it’s invoking a (small) Makefile, so you’d have to dig into 
that, to find the exact thing which is failing.

You can add ‘-n’ to ‘make’ to see what it calls.

Normally it would fail if you lack ‘hg’ — but missing SCM commands 
shouldn’t produce segfaults.

The SoftwareUpdate/coerce target should cause the test to be skipped, 
that said, the test is failing because you lack the fixtures, which are 
missing because ./configure failed.

It’s the first time I hear of someone with ./configure failing to 
generate the fixtures, so I don’t know what would cause it, but 
openssl is used in the process, so perhaps you have some non-standard 
version of that.

Adding ‘-n’ to the make invocation above and then running the 
commands manually should help track down the problem.
