Your links don't work unfortunately.

My guess is that you did not build with:

-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1

Without this, Vim crashes at startup.

Normally the configure script should set those
compilation flags but if you override it, you may
run into the problem.

Other things to try:

1) run vim with valgrind, which will report memory errors
if any:

$ valgrind --num-callers=50 --track-origins=yes ./vim 2> vg.log

Then look at vg.log

2) You can also build with asan (address sanitizer).
Uncomment out this line in vim/src/Makefile:

SANITIZER_CFLAGS = -g -O0 -fsanitize=undefined -fno-omit-frame-pointer

Then:

$ cd vim/src
$ make clean ; make -j8
$ ./vim 2> asan.log

And look into the asan.log for memory errors.
