Not that I've heard of.
The current issues with pdump are
1. separate dump file (unclean, and paranoid sysadmins wet their
pants when they see big globs of who knows what in a system bindir
;^)
How hard will it be to keep it in the same file ?
2. poorly localized Lisp data means the first GC puts all of the
Lisp data into "touched" category and it can't be shared any more
(thus I have heard from Hrvoje Niksic, I am not an expert)
It's default on several platforms, mostly because it was a cheap port.
Are you sure about this one ? I don't think it's on by default on Linux
(RedHat 7.3). And btw, XEmacs configure doesn't build with Motif when
lesstif is installed instead of OpenMotif. I guess the configure script is
missing lesstif.
