Did you get a core file (nagios.core in the directory you ran ... -v 
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg ?

If so, please cd into the Nagios build directory ../nagios-1.0/base
and then post the result of 

(Or do this with the usual Nagios path)

gdb -c /path/to/core_file nagios
set args -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
r
bt
quit

except yours will probably report the SEGV.
 
If you did not get a core file then leave out the -c switch from gdb

(eg gdb /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios
set args ..
r
bt
q)

'...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the
continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
