I have tried building with many different options and it always fails
with the above seg fault before the main window opens.

Earlier on this email chain one person had the main window coming up but
being unable to select openmax for playback profile. Thomas did
something to the build and now nothing works. Maybe if we can get back
to a version that at least opens the window, we can work forward again
to a version that supports openmax.

Unfortunately, gdb does not work on Raspberry Pi ubuntu mate either, so
it is not easy to debug. I have opened a ticket for gdb with ubuntu.
