[comp.emacs] GNU Emacs 18.55 on Nixdorf Targon 31 - no success

bsp09@granit.cs.tu-berlin.de (Uebung bsp) (07/14/90)

Today/tonight I tried to compile GNU Emacs 18.55 on a Nixdorf 
Targon 31 M50, TOS 4.0.10 (Unix System V 3.2, I think).

When I tried to link (ld -o temacs ...), it failed with the message
	"ld: Symbol alloca in /lib/libc.a is multiply defined.
	 First defined in alloca.o"

I tried several orders of the files in the "ld" command line 
  - even worse. (Ok, I'm not an ld guru...)
I tried using s-usg5-3.h instead of s-usg5-2-2.h (s-usg5-2-2.h is suggested) 
  - the same.
I RTFM for any useful options of ld 
  - none.
I made a local copy of /lib/libc.a and patched all "alloca" to "alxoca".
  - Now ld completed, and temacs loaded the lisp files, 
    but emacs dumped core.

Any help, suggestions, pointers ?

Please email to me at the address below.

Thanks, Juergen.
