Have you tried building with LC_ALL=C in your environment?
This command,
env MALLOC_PERTURB_=0 MALLOC_CHECK_=0 make -j9 bootstrap
has succeeded for me on each of the last three mornings (Mar 28-30).
I manually set those two MALLOC_*_ variables to 0 because
when I don't, emacs fails to bootstrap.
When I set them like this (as I normally do),
$ env|grep MALL :
MALLOC_PERTURB_=39
MALLOC_CHECK_=3
The build fails like this on F15:

Compiling quail/SW.el
Compiling quail/TONEPY.el
Compiling quail/PY.el

At this point, resetting those two envvars has no effect,
presumably because the damage was done in creating a broken
temacs. Here, we're just running the broken tool.
What does this mean?
I suspect that emacs is using free'd memory containing
values that would normally be unoffensive, but when you set
those envvars (esp MALLOC_PERTURB_) to nonzero, it makes
glibc scribble on free'd buffers, and that makes emacs
exhibit an actual failure.
