Building worked with gcc 2.7.2.3 - even without -fno-caller-saves.
With egcs and debugging/error checking enabled I now get:
Fatal error: assertion failed, file /mnt/xemacs/cvs-sources/xemacs-20/src/bufslots.h, line
36, abort()
This might get me started - but I'm not sure if I'll be successful.
The bugs seems to be in egcs and I'll tell the egcs folks details if I
manage to reproduce it somehow.
