Clamd throws a "Segmentation Fault: 11" error when attempting to run it 
when built on Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite. This happens with both 0.98.6 and 
0.98.7 when built on Yosemite (my version of 0.98.6 built on 10.9 ran fine 
on 10.10). But I just upgraded my server from 10.9 to 10.10 and with 
today's relase of 0.98.7, this was my first time attempting to build 
ClamAV under Yosemite.

Various articles I've found are pointing to an issue with libtool where 
10.10 gets treated as if it's 10.1. This article 
(https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=63610) seems to describe the 
issue but a lot of it is beyond me. I've attempted defining 
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.9 as described in that article but that didn't 
make a difference (nor am I seeing anything else defining it to 10.10 so I 
didn't expect it make a difference).

./configure is happy and make generates a lot of warning but no errors. 
The error only happens when trying to run it.

Note this is ClamAV, not ClamXav.
