What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Git 1.8.5.2 using the .pkg installer
2. Attempt to git clone
3. Receive error "Illegal Instruction: 4"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output is the clone of the project, instead I receive the error 
"Illegal Instruction: 4" and nothing occurs.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
This is on version 1.8.5.2 of git-osx-installer running on OS X v10.7.5.

Please provide any additional information below.
From doing a bit of research it appears this is an issue of the compiler making 
optimizations that are not available on older versions of OS X. To resolve this 
the following argument should be included when compiling the source to ensure 
optimization compatibility with older versions "-mmacosx-version-min=10.6", 
since 10.6 is the reported compatible version.

Here are a few of the sources:

While this is still a bug, I solved the issue by using Git 1.8.4.2 downloaded

I'm currently using that flag. I'm also using the MacOSX10.6 sdk. Do you get 
any type of a stack trace?

Do you have a 32-bit mac? It may be an issue with git-credential-osxkeychain. 
Maybe try removing that helper and give it another try?
