 Thanks, fixed.

 > Otherwise, these changes look OK, although we are not familiar with the
 ThreadStackHelper code. It surprises me that --disable-crashreporter does
 not skip this code, but I do not understand exactly how it is used.

 Well, there is crash reporter related code that is compiled in, e.g. for

 I'll leave the ticket open until I've filed follow-up tickets for the
 remaining issues found during compiling.
