Comment:

 The fact that this is `DynFlags` is suspicious. That module in particular
 takes quite a bit of memory to compile (especially at the moment, due to a
 known bug). Moreover, we have seen reports of segfaults on running out of
 memory. How much memory does your guest have available to it? Is this
 crash reproducible?
