Hmm, just a random shot (shouldn't be the case, but just to be on the safe 
side) -- could you please try

        echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space

to see whether it removes the segfault by any chance?

I don't know how exactly execution of real-mode code through libx86 works, 
but this might be worth trying before starting the next round of 
bisection.

Thanks,
