We recently upgraded our Convex to Convex OS 8.1 and it broke all of our
gnuware in one way or another.  I'm now trying to compile emacs 18.57
following the suggestions in etc/MACHINES (use cc -pcc and s-bsd4-2.h,
m-convex.h) and it barphs at ld time claiming that there is an
unsatisfied external (mcount).  Grep shows NO reference to mcount in
any of the code nor any of the included files!  SO I try to compile
with gcc which gags slightly on unexconvex (the scnhdr.h file plays
some games with #ifdef __STDC__ and changes a definition or two, but
gcc -traditional on this file fixes that).  After all this temacs
bombs with a bus error.  Sigh.  Has anybody gotten emacs 18.57 running
on a convex with 8.1?  If so did you need to play any games to get it
going?  Can anyone help me out?
