The default for Gentoo is to install applications without debugging symbols. The next step in trying to diagnose this issue is to rebuild with debugging enabled and try again. Hopefully that will provide some more meaningful information. See http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/ backtraces.xml for all the details on how to do this. Another approach may be to run the application with strace to see what kind of system calls it is making just before crashing. Sometimes this provides a clue, e.g. an app crashing right after being unable to open a particular file may have bad error handling and assumes the file must be there.
