The warning do not seem to be related.

The SEGV occurs just after a longjump() from

void badusage(const char *fmt, ...) {
  ...
  longjmp(*econtext->jbufp,1);
}
to 
void standard_startup(jmp_buf *ejbuf, int argc, const char *const **argv, const char *prog, int loadcfg, const struct cmdinfo cmdinfos[]) {

  ...
  if (setjmp(*ejbuf)) { /* expect warning about possible clobbering of argv */
    error_unwind(ehflag_bombout); exit(2);
  }

the SEGV occurs at the start of error_unwind.
