I think the idea would be ~ to:

- compile with debug symbols

- start gdb loading emacs

- source .gdbinit

- add a breakpoint in 'wrong_type_argument'

- run Emacs and let the error happen

- At this point gdb should take control and you should be able to type
  'bt' to obtain and report the backtrace

Thanks
