Hi All,
I installed FC3 on my laptop and enjoy very much this distrib. :-)
Thanks to all the people that contributed to it!
However, on that new box bootstraping GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (official) or
21.3.50.1 (devel) constantly fails with a segfault when dumping
preloaded lisp code into the bare temacs executable :-(
Here are some (I hope) useful informations:
? uname -a Linux maunakea 2.4.22-1.2097.nptl #1 Fri Oct 17 14:49:10

And a gdb traceback I got:

I tried gcc32 and gcc296 and got the same error. I also tried to
build Emacs without X toolkit without success.
Does anybody succeeded to do that? Or have an idea on what happens?
FYI, I use RH 7.1+updates at home and never encountered any problem to
build Emacs.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Sincerely,
David
