Okay, might be some recursive dependecy issue while loading?

Would be cool to have a Lisp backtrace at the moment of the SIGEGV to
understand what we are trying to load and in which order before we stack
overflow.

Another idea would be to apply something like the following to
Frequire, run a make, and run again the reproducer to understand what's
going on.

I'd do the investigation myself but my dev machine went KO yesterday and
to get it fixed it might take till next week :/
