Cross-compiling doesn't work well from MacOS hosts.  Those instructions
work better on Linux hosts.

Yes.

This happens when reading debug info (line numbers etc) from some .so, or
the main executable.  These tend to be hard to diagnose.  First, find out
which object is causing the problem, by rerunning with -v.  Then, ideally
send me the object.  If you can't do that, get a diagnostic dump of the
debuginfo reader by adding the flags --trace-symtab=yes
--trace-symtab-patt=<whatever>.  These generate a huge amount of output, so
I suggest you play around with them first on a simple program (eg, ls) on
the host, so you can see how to use --trace-symtab-patt= to get output for
just the object in question.

Really also you should file a bug report, since bugs reported by email
tend to fall through the cracks.
