I don't think so.

Bisection is about the only reasonable strategy, short of oracular
guesswork. I have a single .emacs that's (mostly) a sequence of
(conditional) loads/requires of individual package config files. I just
comment out the whole thing, verify correct operation, and then
uncomment out the first/second half and try again. With 100 packages, 7
cycles will get you down to a single package and then you just do the
same thing within the package config file. Given a reproducer that you
can run in batch mode, this goes fairly quickly.
