Actually I think you could. Testing this would mean implementing a version of 
the patches that does nothing on ARM, and then getting that to run that on the 
ARM CI. The only thing I could possibly do in this approach is implemented the 
alternative patch, from there on the ball would still be in your camp.

Have I? In my experience it only happens under specific conditions, and I've 
never seen evidence that it happens on other architectures. It does seem 
reasonable to expect that it will.

I can read, thank you :) That's the CI issue, the original issue is the QtDBus 
crash-on-exit.

But since you repeat this: what's different with that xml2cpp code generator in 
the cross-compilation setting? Does it contain/run ARM-conditional code (built 
for X86), for instance? Is there no way to figure that out without doing a full-
fledged cross build?
Can't you fetch the executable from the CI and run it on a regular developer 
workstation, or possibly the entire build tree?

Lastly, can't the CI be set up to generate a stack backtrace of applications 
that it kills (supposing you don't already have one)?

I think I'm going to stop firing in the dark...
