OK, I see that Funda synced lesstif with Mandriva and fixed the package.  It now builds locally and I believe it is OK.  On the build system, 
it always fails with gcc segfaulting, and it fails at a different place every time.  I have seen this with other packages where eventually it 
will work, and it seems to be a resources issue that causes it.  It appears not enough resources (probably RAM) are allocated to the VM (I'm 
assuming it's a VM) on the build system to build this package.
