A while ago there was a discussion here on getting Emacs built on 386/ix.
I recall some people claimed to have done this successfully.
I am currently trying to do this myself. I had to undef TIOCGETC to keep
sysdep.c from getting confused by the Xenix hooks in termio.h. I also had
to keep various includes from getting included more than once. Finally, to
get the thing built, I had to add #include <X11/Xos.h> to x11term.c.
When the make was finally finished and installed, I tried running it.
I got a fatal error(10) Bus error-core dumped message.
Did I miss something? What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
Please mail replies and I'll summarize. If this has already been
discussed, I apologize for wasting bandwidth. In that case could someone
send the previous discussions to me?
Thanx in advance.

What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Success!! Ira Baxter and Jim Frost both wrote and told me not to use the optimizing switch on pcc. I still had problems. Then I built emacs telling it I had no X-windows- It worked fine! But I couldn't get it to work under X. So I bit the bullet and dug through the sources and used sdb to figure out it was dying on the select() emulation. A quick check, nm /usr/lib/libinet.a | grep select told me that I did have select() so the emulation wasn't needed. I just patched up config.h to define HAVE_SELECT and now it worked. One problem I haven't tracked down yet- emacs seems to be ignoring the defaults I set for it in .Xdefaults. Incidentally, this is gnu-emacs 18.54.
