Have you tried compiling munge-texi without the -fast flag?
cd doc/interpreter/
g++ -o munge-texi munge-texi.cc
make

In my case, -fast broke munge-texi:

interpreter$ g++ -mcpu=G4 -fast -mdynamic-no-pic -o munge-texi 
munge-texi.cc
interpreter$ rm arith.texi
interpreter$ make
make -C ../../src DOCSTRINGS
make[1]: `DOCSTRINGS' is up to date.
make -C ../../scripts DOCSTRINGS
make[1]: `DOCSTRINGS' is up to date.
making arith.texi from arith.txi
make: *** [arith.texi] Error 138

whereas it works without it:

interpreter$ g++ -mdynamic-no-pic -o munge-texi munge-texi.cc
interpreter$ make
make -C ../../src DOCSTRINGS
make[1]: `DOCSTRINGS' is up to date.
make -C ../../scripts DOCSTRINGS
make[1]: `DOCSTRINGS' is up to date.
making arith.texi from arith.txi
making audio.texi from audio.txi
audio.texi is unchanged


(Note that I'm sadly lacking a G5, thus the -mcpu=G4 flag ;-)
