Are you building on AMD64?  There has been a recent post regarding this
under AMD64 (5.5 (I think) and 6.1).  I can confirm that it's currently
broken under 6.1 AMD64 but don't have the time to dig deeper into it.
I'll see about submitting a PR shortly which notes this problem.  I'm
also CC'ing the maintainer on this.

I'm not entirely sure and don't have the time today to look into it.
Hopefully the maintainer can take care of it soon, otherwise I will put
it on my TODO list for this weekend.
