That's good to know that you're using protocol buffers on some vintage hardware! :) I wonder if it's not the code per se that's being miscompiled for the architecture but perhaps just the serialized descriptor data that's being linked into the binary. It might be interesting to try saving the descriptor data to disk from one of the affected machines and then examining it after the fact to see if it's truncated or somehow otherwise corrupted.
