Yes, because ftcrfont.c is only compiled in the Cairo build, and the
problem is evidently related to it.

Yes, -ggdb should help, but I think there's something else here,
because this kind of backtrace:

  #0  0x00000001012547da in FT_Done_Size ()
  No symbol table info available.
  #1  0x00000001002cd613 in ftcrfont_close ()

  #7  0x000000010016f192 in maybe_gc ()
  No symbol table info available.

means there are no debugging symbols in the binary.  Perhaps the
binary was stripped at link time, or when you installed it?
