I don’t think we can do much here, AFAICT tree-site changed ABI without bumping ABI version, and Arch and Gentoo are serving old Emacs build this new tree-sitter so, which is incompatible and crashed Emacs. We can’t really do anything to the Emacs build on people’s machines (though, who knows, maybe you CAN cask spells and flip bits).

It isn't clear to me what would be their solution.  Couldn't we at
least reject these new versions at configure time, until they fix the
issue?

And when they do bump the ABI version, what would be our solution to
support both previous and new ABIs?
