My trusty emacs 19.22 turned quirkey when we installed DEC's brand new OSF/1 3.0 (dired showed non-empty directories as empty, shell commands appeared to complete with no output.) I decided to build 19.25 with the patches off gatekeeper in case 19.25 fixed the problem. The alpha OSF/1 emacs wants to dump itself, but segfaulted in unexmips.c when the rdata_section pointer was null. GDB showed that there was no .rdata section. I tried changing config.h to define CANNOT_DUMP, but then temacs couldn't find loadup.el. Then I screwed around with unexmips without a whole lot of luck. Could you tell me how to build with CANNOT_DUMP and/or hook me up with someone who can tell me more about unexmips.c? I'd be happy to fix this (and track down the dired/shell-command quirks.) I've been around the ELF block and know symbol tables from putting CMA thread awareness in gdb, but a name or a pointer would speed things up a lot. Neil
