Just read the Wikipedia, looks like you are trading one hardware bug for another on the Quark. At least you know when a segfault happens I guess.
"Intel Quark SoC X1000 contains a bug #71538[11] that "under specific circumstances" results in crash, known in the industry as a segfault. The workaround implemented by Intel is to omit LOCK instructions in the compiled code.[12] While Yocto Project based embedded systems incorporate this workaround, general purpose Linux distributions such as Debian are deeply affected by the bug. Such a workaround is not easy to implement on multithreading systems as they require LOCK instruction to function properly."
