OK. Built with -g. Have gdb on the target. Run with and still get the
memory corruption; even gdb is hung up. So run it without gdb, then
attach gdb to dhcpcd once it's hung, and use 'gcore' to generate a
coredump. Looks like something is thoroughly stomping on the stack.
This is all I get:

I'm not entirely sure what to make of that really.
Can you run dhcpcd using valgrind to try and track the memory error as that's the best tool for this I find.
