That's weird. And where is the '-s' ? it comes from this line:

  @[ -L $(NAN_QHULL)/include/qhull ] || ln -s .  $(NAN_QHULL)/include/qhull

It is needed because Solid looks for <qhull/qhull.h>

Can you check the '-s' It means that a symlink will be made, not a
hardlink, which should fail.

That's a ranlib bug. It should never segfault, and even worse: I mailed
Jordan Hubbard of the OSX unix team about the removal of ranlib years
ago as its requirement should be obsolete. Modern unixes don't need
ranlib.
