Building Firmware for Multitech mDot Box from Sourecode always makes Box crash - why?

I'm trying to compile the firmware for Multitech mDot Box because i want to change some things and build a new version for my use case. But i'm not able to build a stable binary from the orginal source code of firmware.

I'm using this (i guess the latest?) revision:

https://developer.mbed.org/teams/MultiTech/code/MTDOT-BOX-EVB-Factory-Firmware/file/19ce32436b9b

The code compiles with the online mbed compiler, the compiler shows some warnings, but it builds a binary. When i flash this binary on the mDot Box, it behaves unstable. Sometimes it does not boot, sometimes parameters from non volatile RAM are missing, and when using the GPS survey mode, the box crashes after while.

Anyone here wo could give me some hints how to analyze and solve this problem? Tx...
