At that time I didn't use CFLAGS=-O0 so as to exclude anything
special, though I'm not sure it is worthwhile.  Today I tried
building two types; one uses CFLAGS=-O0 and the other doesn't.
The difference between them is that with the one built *with*
CFLAGS=-O0 the gdb command `source .gdbinit' ends up with this
error:

(gdb) source .gdbinit
SIGINT is used by the debugger.

It's a result of I did many things to break Emacs since it can't
seem to die soon.  But I got a good means to break Emacs at once,
that is to eval: (x-display-monitor-attributes-list)

Thanks.  Attached the one fetched with Emacs built without
CFLAGS=-O0 (it has no notably difference from the one fetched
with Emacs built with CFLAGS=-O0).  Note that gdb crashes when
the `thread apply all bt' command is invoked.

I think I use intendedly neither such a raw function nor functions
using it.  Moreover the crash happens not when manipurating a frame.
So, the attached GDB log might not mention to the one I'm troubled
with.
