Did you clean up the source tree before rebuilding?  At least
"make distclean" is needed.

Did you try --debug-init?

I don't see why it could be undefined.  It seems to indicate that
c_strcasecmp crashes comparing an empty string, which is something it
is supposed to be able to handle.

I'm beginning to suspect some problem with your compiler or maybe even
with hardware (like some memory chip?).
