As you compiled yourself, you can reconfigure with --enable-debug and recompile.
Then you can use gdb to find out what part of the code is buggy:
ulimit -c unlimited
./vlc ......
<crash>
gdb src/vlc core.1242

where 1242 is the actual number of the core file created.

then inside gdb:
bt to get a backtrace

hth,
