help.......

i am trying to build gnu emacs for a HP9000/300.

this is a 68030 based unix box (hpux is more like sys V than BDS).

emacs should support these machines as they are described in 
MACHINES and the "m-" and "s-" files exist.  although these
files talk about 68010 and 68020 based machines, i understand the
code should work on a '030 anyway.

the problem is that something goes awry in the compilation process
as follows:


        ld   -o temacs crt0.o dispnew.o scroll.o xdisp.o window.o  term.o cm.o  
 emacs.o keyboard.o macros.o keymap.o sysdep.o  buffer.o filelock.o insdel.o 
 marker.o  minibuf.o fileio.o dired.o filemode.o  cmds.o casefiddle.o indent.o 
 search.o regex.o undo.o  alloc.o data.o doc.o editfns.o callint.o  eval.o 
 fns.o print.o lread.o  abbrev.o syntax.o unexec.o mocklisp.o bytecode.o  
 process.o callproc.o   doprnt.o terminfo.o lastfile.o alloca.o malloc.o   
 -lcurses  /usr/lib/end.o -lc
ld: Undefined external -
        flag_fpa
        fpa_loc
        float_loc
ld: output file still contains undefined symbols


i would theorize that this is referring to some floating-point-accelerator (fpa?)
type stuff.  the machines we have are not fpa equiped but do have MC68881 math 
coprocessors.

i have asked HP to identify where these externals are defined but have no 
answer yet.  

i would greatly appreciate any ideas or advice in the way of a solution.


i should mention that the release that i am working with is dist-18.54.
also, i have been using gnu emacs for years (having built it on several 
platforms) and love the product.
