Configure findings:
  FFI:        no (user requested: default)
  readline:   yes (user requested: default)
  libsigsegv: no, consider installing GNU libsigsegv
./configure: libsigsegv was not detected, thus some features, such as
  generational garbage collection and
  stack overflow detection in interpreted Lisp code
cannot be provided.
Please do this:
  mkdir tools; cd tools; prefix=`pwd`/arm-unknown-linux-gnu
  wget http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libsigsegv/libsigsegv-2.5.tar.gz
  tar xfz libsigsegv-2.5.tar.gz
  cd libsigsegv-2.5
  ./configure --prefix=${prefix} && make && make check && make install
  cd ../..
  ./configure --with-libsigsegv-prefix=${prefix} 
If you insist on building without libsigsegv, please pass
  --ignore-absence-of-libsigsegv
to this script:
  ./configure --ignore-absence-of-libsigsegv
