[Interest] QtQuickCompiler very "crash happy" on Android 5.x?

[Jason H]

I have been working on a project on Android 4.x for several months. It has never crashed. Now that I am targeting a 5.x device (Nexus 6) the application seems to crash immediately in libc on startup. Some days it works reliably, other days it crashes constantly, with the same message "Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV), code 1, fault addr 0x71"

I/Qt      (22224): qt start
D/        (22224): (null):0 ((null)): QML debugging is enabled. Only use this in a safe environment.
W/Qt A11Y (22224): Could not activate platform accessibility.
I/Adreno  (22224): EGLInit: QTI Build: 10/14/14, 40a273b, I86da836d38

D/libwound.so(22224): qrc:///PatientAddScreen.qml:70 (expression for onVisibleChanged): qml: PatientAddScreen::visibleChanged false
F/libc    (22224): Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV), code 1, fault addr 0x71 in tid 22411 (QtThread)

And that's all folks.

I've confirmed this on other 5.x devices as well (Samsung S5)

Removing CONFIG += qtquickcompiler from the project file seems to fix it.
