   I ported Emacs by myself partly for practice and partly just to have it.
   The only problem with my port is that when you resize the X-window it
   adds a blank row and column to the bottom and right of the window.  Any
   'buggestions' as to why will be greatly appreciated.

I had a somewhat similar problem when building 18.57 as distributed by FSF.
The emacs window always came up a little too short, clipping the descenders
of text in the minibuffer.  When resized, the window became a little too
tall.  

This can be fixed by #defining XICCC in m-ibmrs6000.h and linking with the
X11R4 version of libX11.a instead of the X11R3 version.  The R4 library is
needed in order to get XSetWMNormalHints.
