A couple of days ago, I posted a problem that I was having making GNU
Emacs.  I received several helpful replies from people suggesting that they
had successfully made it without the problem I encountered.  The problem
seems to be that I was trying to make it on an NFS mounted directory.
After moving the source to a local disk, I was able to make it.

This brings up another question.  Why can't I make GNU on a remote file
system?  After all, when you have 11M of source, its nice to be able to
stick it on a big server somewhere.  I don't know enough about NFS to
hazard a guess.

We do this all the time (under BSD, not AIX).  Were you compiling as
root?  [Old] NFS maps root on clients to nobody on the server.

Speaking of old NFS, why hasn't IBM shipped SunRPC 4.0 / NFS4.0 with
AOS yet???  The RPC is free, and has been available for over a year
now.  The old RPC code doesn't function properly (do a "ruptime
SomeRt" from a Sun to see what I mean) and the new code does.  Also,
RT users around here would really like to be able to take advantage of
the new NFS functionality.
