I think that's quite probable... I'll look into producing and using a
debug build tomorrow.

It wasn't me, but the IRC log looks like they are in a very familiar situation!
I'm also trying to run 162b12 on Yocto on i.MX6, and yes, Zero VM.
I've included a list of patches by URL below...

I'll certainly try this tomorrow morning.

After a quick review, I *think* that these are all relatively are
harmless (wrt Zero VM)... but this may not be the case.
