Segfault when running mksnapshot with Electron >=29 on vercel/hyper's `snapshot-libs.js`

I've been trying to get vercel/hyper to work wwith more recent electron versions. I've managed to get to v28, but v29 and above fail during the mksnapshot step.

Hacking some logging into mksnapshot, I found that mksnapshot errors with a segfault. The same issue appears not only on macOS arm64 (my dev machine) but apparently also on Ubuntu (at least in CI the error is the same as I get locally).

I tried both Electron 29 and 31, and in both cases there seems to be the same segfault.

It should be possible to reproduce as follows (apologies for not providing something more minimal - one can probably bisect the snapshot-lib.js file to get a minimal trigger).

gh repo clone corneliusroemer/hyper
cd hyper
git checkout try-31
yarn

To get the segfault, run:

$ lldb node_modules/electron-mksnapshot/bin/mksnapshot -- /Users/corneliusromer/code/hyper/cache/snapshot-libs.js --target_os=mac --target_arch=arm64 --embedded_src gen/v8/embedded.S --embedded_variant Default --startup_blob snapshot_blob.bin --no-native-code-counters

Should I report this to chromium, similar to e.g. https://issues.chromium.org/issues/353552530 https://github.com/chromiumembedded/cef/issues/3734

Update: I've added a comment https://issues.chromium.org/issues/345280736#comment10
