Ok, the build finally finished -- with the same results... :-(
(running in batch mode, crashing when started interactively)

  % ./src/emacs  -batch -eval '(message "Version: %s" emacs-version)'
  Version: 22.0.50.2

Another interesting observation -- I don't know if it is of any
relevance, emacs 21 (working) was linked against xcurses library,
while the 22 isn't:

  % odump -slliblist /usr/local/bin/emacs-21.3 

  Shared Library List Table for /usr/local/bin/emacs-21.3:

  Index  Ref  IDNRVI  HighWater  Name 

      0  abs  .D....          0  temacs
      1   -l  .D...I          0  /usr/lib/libdld.1
      2   -l  .D...I          0  /usr/lib/libxcurses.1
      3   -l  .D...I         70  /usr/lib/libc.1

  % odump -slliblist ./src/emacs                                                                                
  Shared Library List Table for ./src/emacs:

  Index  Ref  IDNRVI  HighWater  Name 

      0  abs  .D....          0  temacs
      1   -l  .D...I          0  /usr/lib/libdld.1
      2   -l  .D...I         70  /usr/lib/libc.1

any hints?
Any suggestions on how to proceed?

A naive binary search through the changes is not practicable with a
round trip time of several hours...  ;-)
