Not sure how to file this bug

In the past few weeks, I am not sure exactly when, clamav
(www.clamav.net) has ceased to work.  I have tried their cvs and new
versions... nothing works.  It dies with a SIGILL.

# freshclam
ClamAV update process started at Mon Mar 15 22:17:21 2004

Downloading daily.cvd [*]
Illegal instruction

This seems to me to be either a change in glibc, gnuc et al, or the
kernel.  Has a non-executable stack patch been added lately?  Does it
throw a SIGILL instead of a SIGSEGV?

I am running a recent Athlon (2200+).  According to cpuinfo it supports
cmov, so I don't think that is it.

I am running the latest development as of this morning (including
kernel-2.6.3-2.1.253).  I know devel/rawhide can be treacherous, but if
no one tries it, bugs don't get found and fixed.

So, how do I go about filing this bug?
