As for displaying the backtrace, just add the "bt" command to the
chain, like this:

   emacsdbg = EMACSLOADPATH=$(lisp) LC_ALL=C gdb --batch --return-child-result 
-ex 'b abort' -ex run -ex bt -ex cont --args $(EMACS) $(EMACSOPT)

GDB executes the commands given via -ex in order, so think of this as
if you typed the commands whenever GDB shows its prompt.

Thanks, Eli. I replaced "bt" by "thread apply all bt", which probably didn't provide additional useful information. I then ran "make bootstrap" followed by repeated "make -k" until the bootstrap completed. Early in the process there were two crashes with SIGSEGV, for which I got backtraces (attached). In both cases the crash occurred in gmalloc.c, which probably explains why we're seeing problems only on Cygwin.

After that there were many compile failures with errors like those that others have reported:

Compiling gnus/gnus-cache.el
GLib (gthread-posix.c): Unexpected error from C library during 'pthread_setspecific': Invalid argument. Aborting.
Makefile:254: recipe for target `gnus/gnus-cache.elc' failed

But these compilations didn't invoke gdb, apparently because they involved Makefile targets other than compile-onefile. So I didn't get any more backtraces.

I can modify the Makefile further if necessary, but the attached backtraces are a start.
