To whomever:

	I am trying desparately to get GNU-emacs running on an
Stardent Titan computer.  The processor used in this beast is a MIPS (
the old version of that chip, R2000 I believe ).  The system is
running SYSV release 3.0.

	The first problem was that the unexmips.c file was totally
inappropriate for this machine.  I hacked unexec.c to get it to
compile, basically by ignoring the lnnoptr stuff, which the machine
does not use.  Next I had to translate some functions to their sysV
equivalents, namely sigsetmask.

	At any rate, I got the thing to compile temacs, but then it
crashes when building the faster-loading version (in batch mode).
When I ran temacs by itself, the result is a floating-point error in
the file crt0.o:_start.

	Fixing this last problem is certainly beyond my programming
experience.  I realize that the machine is somewhat obsure, and that
you are busy with a thousand such questions per day, but any help you
could give would be greatly appreciated, especially to those of us who
can not stand vi anymore.  Thank you.
