I will try to reproduce the failure with an x86_64 qemu virtual machine.
Myself I use a 32 Bit qemu machine because I have a dependency on
userspace software which use x86 assembler (somebody should change it to
setjmp/longjmp)... it's the RIOT-OS native plattform. I use some cross
compiling environment which doesn't support multilib yet, so I used
always 32 Bit.

btw: the github stuff is very useful and thanks for the hard work! I am
on it to reproduce it. I will report when I have more information.
