Description

The CFI build is failing with:

# success: prints expected string
Illegal instruction (core dumped)

https://travis-ci.com/github/mapbox/node-cpp-skel/jobs/455213147#L449

I wonder if this started at https://github.com/mapbox/node-cpp-skel/commit/0f679d2a5eee050c7fe5d6f104016f501522554e? @artemp can you take a look?

Research direction

Start with the linked Travis job around line 449 and compare the failing CFI build with commit 0f679d2a5eee050c7fe5d6f104016f501522e. Trace the illegal-instruction failure and verify the CFI build completes while still printing the expected string.
