Certain linux configurations may encounter a SIGILL Illegal Instruction that causes a locally-built veild to crash immediately. Using gdb to catch the stack trace will give a reference to global variable initialization in the sha256_shani.cpp file. Root cause appears to be a global constant is not produced correctly by the compiler as a constant.
