I'm regretting only testing on 64 bit in my earlier message. I do see a
segfault now when I build Julia with i686-w64-mingw32-gcc 5.4.0-2, that
did not occur with 4.9.2-2. Could 4.9.2-2 be reinstated as prev? And/or
could packaging of GCC 6 be done with a faster turnaround time? Here are
the repro steps for compiling to 32 bit (with apologies for how long it'll
take, it's mostly miscompilation of LLVM causing the problem):

# check build prereqs
curl --version
patch --version
python --version
g++ --version
m4 --version
cmake --version
7z -h
i686-w64-mingw32-gcc --version
i686-w64-mingw32-g++ --version
i686-w64-mingw32-gfortran --version
# end of build prereq checks
git clone https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia -b release-0.5
cd julia
echo 'XC_HOST = i686-w64-mingw32' > Make.user
make -j8 test


At the end of this, roughly an hour later, I see

    JULIA usr/lib/julia/sys.o

Please submit a bug report with steps to reproduce this fault, and any error messages that follow (in their entirety). Thanks.

instead of finishing building and executing the tests as expected.

Thanks,
