What compiler should XEmacs be built with? gcc -g -O3
-Wall -Wno-switch
...
(Using Doug Lea's new malloc from the GNU C Library.)
"You are in a twisty maze of 7 million Linux systems, all different".
Which version of GCC are you using? There are known bugs that can
affect XEmacs in all of them. Looking through PROBLEMS might be
enlightening. GCC 2.7.2 requires -fno-strength-reduce -fno-caller-saves,
GCC 2.7.2.x requires -fno-caller-saves, etc.
The next thing to check are library versions. You're using GNU
libc. Are the graphics libraries built against it? Do the libraries
(the .so's) match the include files?
