After re-compiling make 4.2.1 with "-O0 -pipe -mcpu=cortex-a7
-mfpu=neon-vfpv4 -mfloat-abi=hard -ggdb" instead of the regular "-O2
-pipe -mcpu=cortex-a7 -mfpu=neon-vfpv4 -mfloat-abi=hard" I got:

Thread 1 (LWP 20416):
#0  0x0c5cbd74 in child_error (child=0xbf78e700, exit_code=1900259124,
exit_sig=-1082595584, coredump=1900259184, ignored=0) at job.c:519
#1  0x0c5cbd8e in child_handler (sig=1935828325) at job.c:537
#2  0x00000008 in ?? ()
Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)

Which looks even more weird. I'm not even sure its the same crash.
Something seriously seems to corrupt the stack in both cases. As far as
I can tell, child_handler() does not call child_error() directly or
indirectly.
