The segfault during building sounds like the rel_alloc thing; even if
you can build 25.1 on Fedora without REL_ALLOC=no it's probably just a
coincidence.  That build will likely crash later.

But the other error must be something else.

I searched for the error and found only this:
https://qiang51.wordpress.com/2012/06/17/the-annoying-appledouble-file/
which seems to be about some (macOS specific?) incorrect unpacking of
the sources.

Anyway, closing for now, if it comes up again we can reopen.
