1.0pre2 works without -forceidx. With -forceidx I get

Building syncpoint table 100%
Bad page sync while building syncpoints table (2176)
Bad page sync while building syncpoints table (4096)
[many repeats]
Bad page sync while building syncpoints table (4096)
Bad page sync while building syncpoints table (260)
Building syncpoint table 195%
Bad page sync while building syncpoints table (1894)
Bad page sync while building syncpoints table (4096)
[many repeats]
Building syncpoint table 204%

after which I give up as it has taken so long. It does look like the
same problem as with 1.0pre3 and no -forceidx, just with messages.
I assume -forceidx sets index_mode = 2 in which case this makes perfect
sense.

I tried enclosing the whole while(1) loop in if(index_mode==2) and it
works. Dunno if that is a fix or just a bodge. Seems to make more sense
than always building the syncpoint table but only displaying the messages
when -forceidx is used. It does mean syncpoint table building is broken
though.
