I had the same problem. The weird thing was that the segfault always 
occurred during processing of the _second_ file in post-config.rb, no 
matter which order I told it to process the files in.

Running in gdb, I found the following backtrace: the problem seemed to 
be happening in the garbage collector somewhere.

Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
0x00019918 in rb_gc_mark ()
(gdb) bt
#0  0x00019918 in rb_gc_mark ()
#1  0x00019f7c in rb_gc_mark ()
#2  0x0001973c in rb_source_filename ()
#3  0x0001a86c in rb_gc ()
#4  0x000194b8 in rb_newobj ()

When I edited post-config.rb and put a call to "GC.start" right 
underneath "load 'tool/create-appkit-and-foundation.rb'", the config 
worked.

It worked for me, but I have no idea why it worked so it might not work 
for you.
