Not really nice, as there's no immediate way to address such a
build failure. Guessing upon compiler versions (and having one at
hand that produces a small enough image) is not really someone
ought to be concerned about who just needs to build SeaBIOS as
a prerequisite (i.e. not themselves knowing much about SeaBIOS
- that was the fundamental issue I ran into: Knowing nothing
about it, I had this strange runtime failure [which admittedly is
even worse than a build time one], and had to inspect stuff I
should never have had a need to look at).
