Comment (by haasn):

 I figured out how to trigger whether or not that sample fails:

 It works if I switch to the “vanilla” GCC profile (x86_64-pc-linux-
 gnu-4.9.3-vanilla, which has no hardening options enabled). It fails if I
 switch to the “hardened” GCC profile , even if I pick a version that has
 PIE and SSP disabled by default (x86_64-pc-linux-
 gnu-4.9.3-hardenednopiessp).

 So this particular failure, apart from potentially being a bug in either
 vimus or Cabal, is also triggered by the usage of hardened GCC.
