I had the same crash, and there was a bug report with it in the tracker 
also. The problem is that the dependencies of BPY_interface.c aren't 
checked correct, so it will not recompile if the headers it includes 
change. This is because it is compiled with the Makefile from api2_2x, 
but is located one directory up. The dependency checking seems to work 
only for files in the directory itself (nan_compile.mk, around line 258).

Anyway, not sure if this is worth fixing now that there is CMake.
