build fails with segmentation fault, how to find the reason?

build fails with segmentation fault, how to find the reason?

[Gregor Zattler]

Hi, since yesterday my build after a fresh checkout of sources,
fresh ./autogen.sh, fresh ./configgure breaks with a segmentation
fault (see below).  Since nobody else complained here or on
emacs-devel I assume this is a local problem on my debian/jessie
system.  Any ideas how to track it down?

Or maybe they just know to where to report bugs? :)
Ie to the bug list, not the help or devel lists.
I guess you are on a 32-bit system:
