Is there any other patch you would recommend? I'll add them in future revisions.

Not really -- I'm doing some simple obfuscation now, thanks for the remark.

No.
It's a gcc-4.3 bug, which is going to be solved soon on arm (aprox. next week).
But I'm currently in a hurry -- I really want the new john to enter Lenny. So I
just patched your src/Makefile:

===8<===
--- john.orig/src/Makefile
+++ john/src/Makefile
@@ -18,7 +18,11 @@
 CFLAGS = -c -Wall -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer
 ASFLAGS = -c
 LDFLAGS = -s
-OPT_NORMAL = -funroll-loops
+
+# -funroll-loops set in debian/rules, for failed build on ARM.
+# Please see #476460
+#OPT_NORMAL = -funroll-loops
+OPT_NORMAL =
 OPT_INLINE = -finline-functions
 
 JOHN_OBJS_MINIMAL = \
===>8===

And added this to our debian/rules:

CPU   := $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU)
[..]
# GCC segfaults on ARM if -funroll-loops is used.
# Please see #476460
ifneq ($(CPU),arm)
        CFLAGS += -funroll-loops
endif

That should do the trick, for the moment.

Thanks to this quick review, I've just found that I've released the .deb with
that CPU:=... line commented out.

For sponsors: a user just filed a bug which I already addressed (#484109), so I
just added the number to the previous changelog.
Please pick the .dsc again from mentors:

<http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/j/john/john_1.7.2-3.dsc>

Kindly,
David
