Comment (by awson):

 My previous comment was, in fact, correct.

 After thorough investigations I've discovered that the crash happens when
 runtime linker starts to load object code into addresses higher than 2GB,
 thus violating small code model requirement.

 I see no easy ways to fix this, so, for the time being the only workaround
 I see is to use `-fexternal-interpreter` (thank you, people, it now works
 on Windows).
