Some more info about these crashes: I see this in the *Messages*
buffer when a compilation crashes:

       Warning (comp): comp.h:70: Emacs fatal error: assertion failed: 
NATIVE_COMP_UNITP (a)^M

I also see similar picture in emacs_backtrace.txt:

  emacs_abort at src/w32fns.c:10947
  terminate_due_to_signal at src/emacs.c:417
  die at src/alloc.c:7452
  XNATIVE_COMP_UNIT at src/comp.h:70
  load_comp_unit at src/comp.c:4766
  syms_of_comp at src/comp.c:5077
  Fload at src/lread.c:1548

(My Emacs is compiled with --enable-checking=yes.)

Btw, that ^M character after the error message probably means we don't
correctly decode messages from the async compilation subprocesses --
but this is a secondary problem for now.
