You need to run it on temacs, because this is the command that
crashed:

> >> LC_ALL=C ./temacs -batch -l loadup dump
> >> make[1]: *** [emacs] Segmentation fault

Thus, I'd run GDB as follows:

At the shell prompt type this from the src directory:

 $ gdb ./temacs

At the GDB prompt type this:

 (gdb) run -batch -l loadup dump

When temacs crashes, GDB will get control, and you can then produce
the backtrace.
