This is emacs built from 24.2.92 pretest tarball.
I can only start it from src directory, otherwise I get the
following:

Yes. Same elisp/bytecode files except for elisp being gzip compressed.

Extract emacs-24.2.92.tar.gz then run ./configure --with-x-toolkit=lucid

I don't see anything unusual with anything that you've sent.
And (IIUC) Emacs should not crash anyway if simple is missing.

I don't suppose the problem goes away if you just reinstall?

If not, can you recompile Emacs with debugging (CFLAGS="-O0 -g3"), run
it under gdb, and print the result of "bt full" from the crash?

So this is bug#11634, 11769, 11668 again.

I really don't know why your Emacs cannot find its own files.
We already established that EMACSLOADPATH is empty, and you are not
passing --enable-locallisppath to configure.

Anyone?


Semi-related comments:

1) Should the failure to find simple.el in command-line now be a fatal
error, since Emacs is going to go on to abort due to failure to find
required bidi data files?

2) Please can we have a more useful emacs_abort (), one that takes a
string describing the error as argument and prints it to stderr before
aborting.

One last idea:

Maybe EMACSLOADPATH is somehow set to the empty string?

Try:
echo ${EMACSLOADPATH+set}
unset EMACSLOADPATH
emacs -Q

Where is emacs searching for those files? Could you try

strace -e file emacs -Q 2>&1 | grep simple

So you have wrong permissions on the file or its parent directory?

ls -l /usr/local/share/emacs/24.2.92/lisp/simple.elc

Thanks!
Looks like all directories under /usr/local/share/emacs/24.2.92/lisp were
missing +x flag.

find . -type d -exec sudo chmod go+x {} \;

worked around the issue.
I'm guessing it has to be something related to these sources since I am
able to make/install latest emacs-24.2.tar.gz release tarball just the same
way I build this one.
