What system are you building on?

Can you run this under gdb?

Go back to the place where bootstrap-emacs is invoked and copy the actual 
command line,
then start it under gdb with the actual command line like this:

cd src
gdb bootstrap-emacs
cd ../lisp
r -batch --no-site-file --multibyte ... 


When it crashes, exec these gdb commands:

bt full
xbacktrace


Now, can you repeat the whole build process but first you edit src/lisp.h
as follows:

in line 32, change #if 0 line to #if 1.
in line 53, remove the /* */ around #define GC_CHECK_CONS_LIST 1

and see if it still crashes during bootstrap.
If it does, report the same gdb output as before.


Does it still fail if you run
 make maintainer-clean
 ./configure ...
 make bootstrap

?
