Tried re-emerging emacs and revdep-rebuild, multiple times, after reboots, w/ or w/o X running (trying to scramble the memory allocations to ensure its not a memory error).

Please try with CFLAGS='-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe', if that fails too, try rebuilding glibc too with those CFLAGS. I think it could be a CFLAGS problem and unfortunately, I dont have enough time to explore that.
