Various components and scripts load by the installer are crashing. This is
most likely due to a broken toolchain during build. It could be related
to PIE being enabled for the toolchain by default [1].

Please let me know which version of Debian you were trying to install. I
need to know the exact name and source of the ISO image and how the image
was burnt. Please always provide this information in the future as otherwise
it very difficult to track down the issue.

However, if these specific error messages are reproducible with *any*
version of Debian (Squeeze, Wheezy, Jessie), it's most likely a hardware
issue and you should perform some memory and CPU testing.

Thanks,
Adrian
