I think I'd rather close it, tbh.
The failure comes at this line
    ARCHITECTURE="${ARCHITECTURE:-"$($CHROOTEXEC dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_ARCH)"}"
catching a segfault there would just be noise in the code for a very
weird situation.

BTW, that thing was reverted, as you can see.  I think that if you just
update your kernel (and reboot) it should just work.  At the very least,
I could use a wheezy chroot without any issue last week.
