Unfortunately, these binaries do not work.  Marius knows more about  
it than me, he's been building up this box, its a relatively new Dell  
with an ATI card.  The autobuild GNU/Linux/i386 machines are all the  
exact same hardware, old Compaqs with the ATI card above.  So neither  
the compilation machine nor the machine running Gem have nvidia  
hardware.  But Gem dies on the new Dell with that NV error that  
started this thread.

So I guess as Chris said, there is probably a bug in the NV detection  
code.
