Thanks a lot.

I tried this, but it seems the segmentation violation comes from within
__do_global_dtors_aux itself. You will find the gdb session attached,
with display/i $pc on, in order to get the instruction at each step. The
o1 register is null at this time, so it explains the violation. I don't
know what is in this register and why it is null.

So I have tried to remove some libraries using the configure option. All
works well when I remove libpng with the --without-png flag.

I tried to recompile both zlib 1.1.4 and libpng 1.2.5, just to make sure
everything was compiled with the same version of the gcc compiler, but
still had problems.

So I have dropped png support for now, and compile emacs using
--with-xim=no and --without-png.

Thanks for your help.
