I can bootstrap just fine. Attached is the patch I used (cherry picking
had a small conflict)

Ok, here's a new gdb session. This time I batch compile testcover.el
because I noticed that tcover-ses.el requires it and the problem arises
while requiring testcover.el.

Starting program: /home/youngfrog/sources/emacs-from-git/src/emacs --batch -f batch-byte-compile ../lisp/emacs-lisp/testcover.el
Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?
