Never mind, fixed it. For the record (in case someone has the same
problem and searches the list), there's a wrong assumption in
/usr/lib/oss/build/osscore.c:


if (memlimit < 0x00000000ffffffffLL)

this needs to be:

if (memlimit <= 0x00000000ffffffffLL)

Rebuild with install.sh (same directory) and it should work.

Impressive. You should report the bug upstream!
