Excellent! If you didn't pester kan@ yet, feel free to start now. (kan@
cc'd). The sooner we get these tinderbox failures fixed the better...

I noticed the code generated for the native compilation and the cross
compilation differed. Probably some optimization/transformation did
not happen or happened differently for one and therefore avoided (or
triggered) the bug. It cannot be a 32-bit crossbuild bug if you saw
it natively as well, so it must be a second order effect (of which
the root cause may be that we're cross-building)...
