This reminds me of the following report:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2019-06/msg01002.html
In which Noam suggests to apply the following patch for building with
-no-pie:
https://sources.debian.org/patches/emacs24/24.5+1-11+deb9u1/0027-Emacs-shouldn-t-segfault-when-gcc-expects-nopie.patch
I recall having to do that on Debian Testing in order to get Emacs 24.5
(from the official tarball, not Debian's) to build.
HTH,
