In that case I'd expect a segfault before anything could intrude on 
instruction space.  File corruption seems a more likely suspect.

I still think GCC is simply generating an instruction that the build 
system knows about and the host doesn't, though it's hard to imagine what 
that would be (pclmulqdq?).  Obviously, it would help enormously if we 
knew exactly what triggered the SIGILL.
