I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.  Maybe I didn't make it 
clear that the segfault occurs after a build of the *original source*.  
It was only after that happened that I decided to try Yaakov's 
suggestion of running autoreconf, but that failed.  (And it changed the 
source in ways that prevented a subsequent build from succeeding.)

BTW, I've also asked for help on the tex-live mailing list [1], and I 
was advised to run xdvi under a debugger and get a backtrace.  I'm 
attaching a transcript of the gdb session, as well as the resulting 
stackdump, on the off chance that someone will spot something helpful.  
Otherwise, I have to give up and hope that someone more knowledgeable 
will figure out how to compile xdvi for cygwin under X11R7.4.
