No more crashes since I got rid of RedHat's gcc/egcs combination
and
replaced it with the latest stable egcs release (1.0.3).
Does anyone have other similar experiences with RH 5.1? Should we add
this to the PROBLEMS file?
I haven't built XEmacs on RH 5.1 yet, but I've built and run InfoDock
and it is O.K. (with gcc). Um, why didn't Red Hat include libc5
libraries for legacy binaries? That seems _really_ silly to me.
