Some applications segfault after most recent update

Hey,

Ever since my most recent updates, some applications have been segfaulting with the error "no symbol table available." Some programs work fine (Like Chromium, where I'm making this post), while others crash occasionally (firefox), and others crash immediately upon load (gimp).

Firefox was working fine before the update. It now crashes unpredictably after about a minute, or I can reproduce it by visiting certain sites (like youtube). It crashes in safe mode too, so I don't think it's related to add-ons.

Here's the output from my gdb session:

[crypt@crypt ~]$ gdb firefox 
[...some startup info about gdb here...]

(gdb) r

[...Many new threads get created here. Eventually the window appears, and I visit youtube, which causes the crash...]

The same error comes up in gimp, immediately upon load. Unlike Firefox, gimp was not installed on my system before the update. I installed it after the update using pacman & the official repos.

Any idea what could be causing this?

The only potentially-sketchy thing I can think that I may have done is with regards to the "C++ ABI change" update on the main page. I had some very old libraries which were installed (llvm-amdgpu-lib-snapshot and lib32-llvm-amdgpu-lib-snapshot). Since they weren't in AUR anymore, I removed them rather than re-building. I also removed the jdk-devel (which I used to get access to Java 8 a long time ago) and installed the official openjdk ones.. but as these aren't Java applications, I think that was unlikely to matter.

In case it's helpful, my system info is below:
