You could use the « svn diff » command, or if it's not from SVN, then 
unpack another copy (make sure you don't overwrite) and then do a diff of 
the two Makefiles with a command similar to :

   diff -u fux_kinect_orig/Makefile fux_kinect_tim/Makefile

if the newer lines appear as «-» instead of «+», you have to change the 
order of filenames (I get it wrong 50 % of the time)

You can use gdb like this :

   gdb --args pdextended fux_kinect-help.pd

and then use the «run» command to start pd, and press Ctrl+c to force it 
to quit when it's hung, then use the «where» command to see a backtrace. 
Then post the backtrace here.

For a hang, it's better to use GDB.

GDB and Valgrind are largely complementary.

There's also a GUI for Valgrind if it helps you. I don't know about GUIs 
for GDB (except the quite old DDD), but there might be one or several.
