...and it's crashing due to what appears to be a low-level support library issue (as in "GCC support library") that has something to do with changes between 10.6 and 10.7. I've put a long discussion in as the answer, and asked the person to file a bug. I haven't figured out what needs to be done differently in the build procedure - or the procedure for building the support libraries on macOS - to fix it.
