This is as much up-to-date unstable as it gets. However please add a
--enable-gengc as well.

It's indeed the Debian package but all patches left [0] should not affect
this and in fact it segfaults here without any patch applied as well.

The declared dependencies are

Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 7.0.0),
 autotools-dev,
 libgmp-dev,
 automake1.9,
 file,
 texinfo,
 libncurses5-dev,
 fakeroot,
 libgc-dev (>= 1:7.1),
 chrpath,
 install-info,
 libatomic-ops-dev

My guess would be that one of these pulls in all that other stuff (guess
being install-info or texinfo)
