Hello, I would like to build XEmacs 21.5.16 under Cygwin (newest Cygwin release, WinXP), but encounter the following build error with the 21.5.16 distribution as well as the current CVS tree (building 21.4.14 was no problem). Configuration was standard (--with-x11 --with-msw --error-checking=none). I tried to Google and read the "problems" fiel, but couldn't find a hint: Loading site-load... Finding pointers to doc strings...

Your files have been auto-saved. Use M-x recover-session' to recover them. Your version of XEmacs was distributed with a PROBLEMS file that may describe your crash, and with luck a workaround. Please check it first, but do report the crash anyway. Please report this bug by invoking M-x report-emacs-bug, or by selecting Send Bug Report' from the Help menu. If that won't work, send ordinary email to crashes(a)xemacs.org&#39;. *MAKE SURE* to include this entire output from this crash, especially including the Lisp backtrace, as well as the XEmacs configuration from M-x describe-installation (or equivalently, the file Installation' in the top of the build tree). *Please* try *hard* to obtain a C stack backtrace; without it, we are unlikely to be able to analyze the problem. Locate the core file produced as a result of this crash (often called core' or core.<process-id>', and located in the directory in which you started XEmacs or your home directory), and type gdb /cygdrive/u/usr/home/Install/xemacs/xemacs-21.5/src/xemacs core then type where' at the debugger prompt. No GDB on your system? You may have DBX, or XDB, or SDB. (Ask your system administrator if you need help.) If no core file was produced, enable them (often with ulimit -c unlimited') in case of future recurrance of the crash.
