Description

It appears the native addon Node Sass compiled for Node 9 with Nan 2.10.0 are resulting in errors.

i.e.

[1]    9331 illegal hardware instruction  npm test

There is more detailed information in https://github.com/sass/node-sass/issues/2293

This may be related the the MakeCallback deprecation. We're happy to address the deprecation within Node Sass, but the I suspect these failure were unexpected.
