Comment(by simonmar):

 If you get assertion failures, that's a ''good'' sign, because the
 assertion has spotted something wrong before the crash.

 Someone with some PPC expertise will need to debug this using gdb.
 Volunteers?  We're happy to help with debugging tips and helping find your
 way around the RTS.  See also [wiki:Debugging/CompiledCode].
