you need to try to get a proper backtrace using gdb.
For that you'll need to recompile transmission with debug symbols.

I browsed the gcc man page. There are quite a lot of options for debugging. I guess I should use "-g" or "-ggdb".

Are there any other options I should use?

Where should I put them (PKGBUILD or /etc/makepkg.conf or ...)?

Was it CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS or LDFLAGS or ...?

Sounds like the issue discussed in this upstream ticket: https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/5215

I added that fix to transmission-cli 2.76-2, so give it a try and report back.
