[net.emacs] GNU emacs portability

steveh@hammer.UUCP (Stephen Hemminger) (04/11/85)

I have discovered one of the major portability problems with GNU
emacs.  It uses signed bit fields, which some CPU's and C compilers
do not support.

Ask me if you want the fixes now, or wait and they will make it
back for a later release.

P.s: signed bit field's are a PCC/VAXism which are specifically excluded
     in K&R.
