Ok, the following patch fixes the crash above:

glaubitz at partch:~/firebird$ git diff builds/posix/vers.sh.in
diff --git a/builds/posix/vers.sh.in b/builds/posix/vers.sh.in
index 69bd656..15d86a7 100644

        echo 'local:'
        echo "${TAB}*;"
        echo '};'

However, it crashes still when running isql during build:

make gpre
make[3]: Entering directory '/home/glaubitz/firebird/gen'
rm -f metadata.fdb
/home/glaubitz/firebird/gen/Release/firebird/bin/isql -q -i /home/glaubitz/firebird/src/dbs/metadata.sql

But calling the isql command line directly doesn't trigger a crash:
