Steel Bank Common Lisp

I'm attempting to build sbcl v0.8.10 on GNU/Linux but it fails for me,
somewhere near the end of the build process, with the following error
message:

,----

`----

(a previous version of the error suggested added LDB, hence LDB appears
here). Other than the change to ensure that LDB is included the build
process I've followed is the one outlined in INSTALL. I'm using sbcl v0.8.9
to build with (having built that from source the other week with no
problems). I've googled on the error message but couldn't find anything that
suggested what might be going wrong or how I can get around this problem.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions as to how I might proceed?
