I tried to compile revision 43176 on i386 solaris with gcc 5.2 without success.

Just curious: are the tests the same as "tests" in TeX Live?
That is: those in source/texk/dvisvgm/dvisvgm-src/tests?

I guess not, but I ask just in case.

I strongly suspect that I'm dealing with some compiler bugs on OS X because:
- the tests included in dvisvgm all pass when using gcc6
- I get 7 test failures when setting CXXFLAGS to "-Os" and only three
when using "-g" (unless Martin changed something very recently, I
didn't do the cross-check yet as compiling takes too long)
- I looked at the code that fails and it's some pretty basic code; in
the test the code was unable to read from streams (without actually
doing anything with the data)
- I was testing on an older box, but there was another tested with a
newer macOS and different tests failed for him that for me.

I was testing with clang 3.9 and gcc 6.3.
