It /might/ be possible to attach a debugger to it and read out some data… But when it's the first launch and it instantly became unusable, then read below!

This might be a "normal" state of a momentarily unusable state of the GNU Emacs software. It can also be that your init file(s) are provoking the error. Launching it with -q or -Q might render it usable!
If not, then kill it and make distclean, update again, configure again, compile again, and launch GNU Emacs again. You can also play with configure options, use a different compiler or different compiler options. If you develop GNU Emacs 24.3.50 in your GNU Emacs 23(.4?), you will have a readable log from the configure step (in the *compilation* buffer from M-x compile RET ./configure … RET) and possibly find findings which configure should not have found. These can cause the described failure…

There's something the technicians need to learn from the artists. If it isn't aesthetically pleasing, it's probably wrong.
