My build VM is 32-bit.

That  could probably mask the problem in your case...

Or the reverse.  Perhaps the optimizer on 64-bit wants to extract more
32-bit code than it should and breaks everything.

Sure; that's what I meant; this issue is probably masked
when using the 32 Bit compiler.

It would be nice if Oscar can confirm if he's using a 32 or 64 bit 
build environment.
