If you set the CC environment variable when running mig, it will use that.
e.g.,
MIG = CC='${CC}' mig

We're the technical debugging types here, so we need to see those errors.

Stripping should not make a difference, but of course any bug is possible.
The best advice I have is to use a serial console, so that you can record
the complete output when it reboots suddenly. The oskit's panic code is
supposed to pause for a keypress before rebooting, so this must be
something that induced a hardware or firmware reset.
