In GNU Emacs 19.27.1 (rs6000-ibm-aix3.2.5, X toolkit) of Mon Sep 26 1994 on pooh

 In emacs 19.27.1, the Backspace and Delete keys show the same keycode using the
C-q function. It is my understanding that C-q must be distinct for physically
distinct keys. As such, there seems to be no way to set Backspace to the command
delete-backwards-char and simultaneously set Delete to delete-char.
