build finished, tested -- I can reproduce ! :)

The build has been quite stable with gcc for me, so while I trust
Sebastian the patch he pointed at fixes the immediate issue I'll try to
rebuild with it as well and start looking at the next crashes.

(It's a bit annoying to take 3+ hours to build though so I might have a
stab at running from build dir again first though...)
