emacs-19.27/etc/MACHINES is imprecise about Linux QMAGIC executables. You actually have to insert #define LINUX_QMAGIC near the _top_ of src/config.h.in _before_ running configure. (At first I placed it at the bottom which had no effect, silly me.) etc/MACHINES just mentions src/config.h, which only exists after configure has been run and the Makefiles are already wrong. Of course, it would be best to make this automatic. My best suggestion (there may be better ways) would be: link a small test binary a.out, and grep the output of 'file a.out' for qmagic|QMAGIC. Yes, people who forgot to update their /etc/magic lose in this case. When you develop something for Linux, you are shooting at a moving (and even expanding) target... Regards, Wolfram.
