Comment (by dd32):

 Unfortunately we've run into a PHP 5.2 compatibility issue:
 https://travis-ci.org/aaronjorbin/develop.wordpress/jobs/84210246
 {{{
 Fatal error: Class Error contains 1 abstract method and must therefore be
 declared abstract or implement the remaining methods
 (Throwable::getPrevious) in src/wp-
 includes/random_compat/error_polyfill.php on line 48
 }}}

 It looks like this was caused by
 https://github.com/paragonie/random_compat/commit/90da7f3c0f4e92a1c44871de038e801d764ccc93

 I've reverted it for now as I can't debug it properly on a PHP 5.2 system
 right this second.
