I'm sure this has been done before, so I'm checking here before wasting
too much time experimenting. I'm having trouble building Epoch3.2 on a
Sun SPARCstation IPC running SunOS4.1.1 (preinstalled) with OpenWindows
2.0. The problem is that the Sun supplied libX11 seems to be available
only as a shared library - there are only .so and .sa files, no .a file
in the lib directories. As a result I can't build temacs (which needs
the -Bstatic link option).

Do I have to build the MIT X server in order to build epoch (I would
assume this applies to the generic X version of emacs too)? Argh.

Are there any other gochyas that I should know about when building Epoch
for this configuration? I recall that there's a malloc related bug in
SunOS - do I need to #undef SYSTEM_MALLOC or #define it?
