This is a bit useless, since libc.so is compiled without debugging information.
If I rebuild with "-O1 -g" instead of "-Os" and "-O3", I get this stack trace:

> What if you run it under strace?

Yes. When it succeeds, the strace output looks normal. When it fails,
it's this:

$ strace ./conftest
execve("./conftest", ["./conftest"], [/* 133 vars */]) = 0
[ Process PID=2858 runs in 32 bit mode. ]
--- {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SEGV_MAPERR, si_addr=0xe7664} (Segmentation fault) ---

Hope this helps.
