I have recently compiled and built emacs 18.55 after applying diff patches for AUX. I am using gcc 1.37 and gas 1.36. I have been able get all the way through the build by using "gcc -O -traditional -D_SYSV_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE" as $CC. I get warnings periodically throughout the build process about O_GLOBAL being redefined and some variables/functions "previously defined as extern and later static" but things progress and the build and install complete. When I run emacs, things come up OK, but there are a few problems. The first time I try to visit any file with 'C-x C-f path/filename' I get a message about "lisp unknown symbol: t" and the file doesn't appear. That's nothe exact message, but it's close. The second attempt to visit the file will work OK. This is repeatable - it takes two attempts to visit any file. The second problem shows up whenever I try to do a Command Apropos with "C-h C-h A". When I give the "Command Apropos:" prompt anything like find or search etc. I get a stack overflow byte compiler error: PC=16 error message. Can anyone who is familiar with the internal workings of emacs point me to some possible causes for these errors? Any help would be appreciated. Peter Espen pke@btr.com
