For your reference I started with this one [1].

When I bisected, I just answered with defaults on whatever `make` told me at
the configuration stage.

The actual `make` command I used:

	make O=/path/to/the/result W=1 C=1 CF=-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__ -j64

But there is nothing that can affect the described issue.
