It will be difficult because i don't build emacs myself actually, i use
the gentoo package of Emacs-vcs.

However, i will build an emacs from git tomorrow and try to downgrade
until i find a working version.

It could be long though as the crash appear at anytime, not necessarily
on costly operations.
