I think you must be pretty close to finding it already, because you said
Dec 30 was bad, but that emacs-24 was ok? This narrows it down to
between Dec 30 and Nov 2, because emacs-24 only diverged from trunk on
Nov 2:

It's fairly likely to be something in process.c. So if you find a build
after Nov 2 that doesn't have the issue, you can probably get away with
just "make" after switching to each different revision, rather than
building from a clean state.

Otherwise, even if make bootstrap fails compiling some non-essential
elisp, then so long as src/emacs got built, you ought to be able to test
it for the problem.
