Ok, I think the Orc unwinder is innocent: I just forced a build with frame 
pointers but with ORC debuginfo and unwinder, and that is booting fine too.

So it's the specific code size and alignment present in the config I sent that is 
triggering the bug. Fudging that alignment/sizing with the workaround patch above 
makes the crash go away.
