You seem to be ignoring all the information given to you.

You *cannot* use GNOME Shell if you don't build the introspection
data. Additionally, the introspection data is private, which means
there are not stability guarantees between releases. This means you
*cannot* use an older version of the GNOME Shell introspection data
with a newer version of GNOME Shell.

I strongly encourage you to stop wasting your time (and everybody
else's on this mailing list) trying to build a broken GNOME Shell, and
instead try to figure out why the build is breaking with a
segmentation fault.

Ciao,
 Emmanuele.
