Comment (by mingwandroid):

 I didn't notice the 64 bit python compile being especially slow when I
 tested it but then again python compiles very quickly anyway so it could
 have taken a lot longer than a 32 bit compiler. Can you use strace or some
 thing like that to figure out which part of the compilation is slow? I.e.
 clang or the assembler or the linker?

 I am out of action at the moment unfortunately due to another cold and
 also the arrival of an SSD drive causing me to reinstall several OSes.

 The crash looks like a NULL pointer access to me. Is it possible to enable
 more complete diagnostic output in Firefox?

 I will try to get everything up an running ASAP to check into these
 issues.
