I am trying to bring up GNU v18 on an IBM-RT running 4.2 bsd.
I have come across some compile bugs, as mentioned before on the net,
and also a core dump bug caused by a munged crt0.  I fixed both, and
I got past the "temacs -l inc-vers", but I cant seem to get the "loadup"
working.  Does anybody out there know if there is a quick fix to this?
(I get a segmentation violation anywhere from deep in the read-interpret
stuff to somewhere  in comand completion to anywhere else).  temacs
will boot, and I will get the "impure lisp code etcetcetc" line in the
minibuf, and the first time I try to do anything fancy with M-x, it
dumps core. (anything fancy is defined as executing a command, like "load",
or just doing command-completion).  In addition, in the loadup sequence,
emacs bombs in the middle of loading subr.el.

Failing anybody knowing what to do to fix this, does anybody have a version
of GNU (any version) for the RT running, on a place where we (at Cornell)
can get it via FTP?
