I would try building the previous one again, using the exact same
procedure as you are using to build the new executable. Does the freshly
rebuilt old executable start OK? If yes, rebuild the new one from a
fresh directory. Just in case.

Also, checking (e.g., using "ldd") that both working and broken
executables are usining the same shared libraries may be useful.

Your gdb sessions suggest a broken/malformed executable. If that is what
happened, debugging it further is unlikely to be fruitful.


Good luck,

Alex.
