RE: 21.4.15 Imminent
pdump should not be necessary, Sergey provided a config file for gcc 3 to
work around
the section issues. Maybe this needs updating for gcc 3.3

Paul,
Thanks for building the latest 21.4 sources. I think that cygwin
currently requires --pdump to build, but I don't build on Cygwin and
can't say with certainty. In any case, I'm very surprised about the
string problem for gcc 3.3.1. I'm pretty sure I've built XEmacs with
gcc 3.3.1 (I don't currently have 3.3.1 lying around or I'd try) -
maybe sheap.c is not required for all configurations?
In any case, if you had to specify --pdump anyway, was the patch you
made to sheap.c necessary?
Thanks,
Vin
