Oh, no, that's not the first bad commit! The segfault started earlier, with commit 9bab5b6061 (rev-parse --parseopt: option argument name hints, 2014-03-22).
Before that it printed the following for the spec input used in the new test:
$ ./git rev-parse --parseopt -- <spec set -- --
I'm not sure what the desired behavior should have been back then.
Anyway, since 2d893dff4c the documentation is clear that 'opt-spec' "May not contain any of the `<flags>` characters", so now erroring out is the right thing to do.

Yeah, that's why I didn't check it in the morning...
NO_OPENSSL=1 NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=1 sometimes helps building older versions on modern setups, and, FWIW, Ubuntu 16.04 can build both today's Git and v1.6.0 (my goto version when I want to check historical behavior) even with OPENSSL.
