Like this:

 (gdb) break bidi_iniialize
 (gdb) r -Q

When this breakpoint breaks, step through bidi_iniialize until you get
to the 2nd uniprop_table call.  Then type at GDB prompt:

 (gdb) break Fload
 (gdb) continue

The next break in Fload should show that Emacs is loading
uni-mirrored.el.  You can verify that once Fload breaks like this:

 (gdb) pp file

Then step through Fload and see which line fails there.

Note that in order for "pp" to work, you will need to start GDB in the
src directory.  But you probably already know that.
