Setup: test3 updated to 10/28 (athlon-tbird (1.3gh)
I remember seeing some mention of emacs problems awhile ago here. Trying to compile emacs from cvs sources fails with these error messages:
[root@exp emacs]# ./configure checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
Does this ring a bell with anyone?
setarch -3 make ...
That should work around the bug in the emacs dumper

There was a dumper problem that has now been worked around by building with "setarch i386" in emacs-21.3-7. But the problem you describe below during configure looks quite different from that...

Emacs cvs head's configure runs fine for me on my box here with gcc-3.2.2-1 though it is mostly still test3.

Does config.log give you any clues?

I didn't have gcc installed ... erk. I was a victim of one of those upgrades that leaves some packages out. .. There have been several reports of that.
But even after installing gcc, I still get a segfault during dumping. You mentioned `setarch i386'. How does one set that during build?
Doesn't seem to be a configure flag.
Running: make distclean ./configure make bootstrap
Results in a segfault when dumping at the end:

Hi,
But even after installing gcc, I still get a segfault during dumping. You mentioned `setarch i386'. How does one set that during build?

Running: make distclean ./configure make bootstrap
Results in a segfault when dumping at the end:
I used the following with success to build Emacs 21 from CVS:
setarch i386 ./configure <configure-options> setarch i386 make bootstrap
Hope this will help.
