The "Unsupported API version" sounds suspicious.

It's actually as designed. The intent is to force old precompilers (which would generate broken code) to fail, so that the precompile script can change to a different method (which as you can see, it does). Your actual problem is that your newly built pike dumps core. This is most likely due to your version of gcc being too smart and breaking the machine-code support (are you compiling --with-abi=32?).

Try compiling --without-machine-code.

I was/am using Debian-testing Pike7.8 to bootstrap. Anything obvious I'm missing?

Not really, I haven't had time to get the 32-bit x86 machine-code support to work with recent gcc.
