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?

We are basically supplying the RT ports here. We have a V17 version;
I'd need some time to get it together (or else ftp the 17.64 version
from prep, since I believe that it has RT support).

Could you mail me the hacks for the compile errors and the crt0? They
will save me some time.
