Can we make it easier for those brave testers by including the gdbinit
file (and, ideally, an indication of where to download the precise
sources used to build Emacs) in the zip file, and print them out when
GDB is started?

For example, your latest crash report has line numbers in it that do not
precisely match those of the scratch/igc branch, and it wasn't
immediately obvious to me how to look them up...
