The first step is to figure out what was the immediate reason for the
segfault, and in which source line it happened.

Your build is heavily optimized, so I suggest to rebuild with the
following additional compiler options:

   -gdwarf-4 -g3

Then run Emacs under GDB, and when it crashes, type

  (gdb) thread 1
  (gdb) bt -full 5

and post the results.
