Bug in GNU Emacs port + need help to fix

#98631

I am porting GNU Emacs to LynxOS, a real-time Unix os. We have Berkeley
signals, select(), FIONREAD, etc. We support both a.out and COFF format
object files. This system looks like a 386i running BSD 4.3 for all
intents and purposes. I have two problems.

A.out xemacs doesn't work. It starts up and hangs. COFF xemacs works fine.
As far as I can tell, our a.out format is identical to Berkeley's, and
unexec.c should work. What should I look for when debugging this problem?
Our gdb port isn't stable enough to handle Emacs.

The other problem is that if you repeatedly send ^G to Emacs, such as by
using the auto-repeat feature of your keyboard, one of two things will
happen: You will return to the shell, as if ^Z (SIGTSTP) was typed, or
Emacs will eventually ignore all ^Gs sent to it.

Has anybody encountered problems like these? Help.
