armv6 specific std::async crash from g++6 built a.out [stable/11 -r304943 context; /usr/ports -r421001 context]

[I've only compared armv6 and amd64 behavior for this. amd64 did not get the problem.]

The program is under 40 lines and is shown below:
(It is a simplification of the context of the original discovery.)

I do not know if the problem is a bad interaction between FreeBSD's -pthread and g++6's library code vs. if this is strictly a g++6 library problem somehow specific to armv6.

g++6 based builds run fine in my amd64 context (FreeBSD stable/11 under VirtualBox under Mac OS X).

The clang++ 3.8.0 system compiler based build works fine on both amd64 and armv6 (an rpi2).

Builds via g++6 on the rpi2 produce an a.out that fails as shown below (SIGSEGV):

The compiler -v output is shown in the below:
(Removing the -mcpu=cortex-a7 still gets the problem. Using -O0 instead of -O2 also still gets the problem.)

I end up having to kill -9 gdb as kill and quit each hang.

Just running via ./a.out (no gdb) gets the SIGSEGV but does not hang.
