Am seeking a current version of m-mips.h and a matching s-riscos-4-0.h
for GNU emacs 18.55 on a RISC/os 4.0 system.  I want full job control and
subprocesses, and it would seem natural to attempt to do this using the BSD
side of RISC/os rather than tempt fate with a weird mix of SysV and BSDisms.

A first cut at this got me a temacs that loads the .els and unexecs but fails
on an illegal instruction in malloc when run interactively by hand (ditto for
xemacs).  So before I get a scalpel and go elbow-deep in the corpse to find a
tiny little bullet, I thought I'd ask around if anyone has done this.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.
