I remember a post from Hrvoje mentioning the same behaviour. When I use --pdump the build process aborts leaving a xemacs.dmp file and a runnable temacs behind (which seems most like xemacs). I thought this have been fixed. My question is what should be the expected behaviour (I am going to fix it for HP-UX 11.0). thiessel-:src > make cc -Ae -O -L/usr/contrib/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/ccs/lib -L/usr/dt/lib -L/usr/lib/Motif1.2_R6 -L/usr/lib/X11R6 -L/usr/contrib/X11R6/lib -Wl,-E -o temacs abbrev.o alloc.o blocktype.o buffer.o bytecode.o callint.o callproc.o casefiddle.o casetab.o chartab.o cmdloop.o cmds.o console.o console-stream.o data.o device.o dired.o doc.o doprnt.o dynarr.o editfns.o elhash.o emacs.o eval.o events.o debug.o unexhp9k800.o tooltalk.o dragdrop.o dgif_lib.o gif_io.o menubar.o scrollbar.o dialog.o toolbar.o menubar-x.o scrollbar-x.o dialog-x.o toolbar-x.o gui-x.o mule.o mule-ccl.o mule-charset.o file-coding.o input-method-motif.o mule-canna.o getloadavg.o console-tty.o device-tty.o event-tty.o frame-tty.o objects-tty.o redisplay-tty.o cm.o terminfo.o event-unixoid.o database.o sysdll.o emodules.o process-unix.o event-stream.o extents.o faces.o fileio.o filemode.o floatfns.o fns.o font-lock.o frame.o general.o glyphs.o glyphs-eimage.o glyphs-widget.o gui.o gutter.o hash.o imgpr! oc.o indent.o insdel.o intl.o keymap.o line-number.o lread.o lstream.o macros.o marker.o md5.o minibuf.o objects.o opaque.o print.o process.o profile.o rangetab.o redisplay.o redisplay-output.o regex.o search.o select.o signal.o sound.o specifier.o strftime.o symbols.o syntax.o sysdep.o undo.o balloon_help.o balloon-x.o console-x.o device-x.o event-Xt.o frame-x.o glyphs-x.o objects-x.o redisplay-x.o select-x.o xgccache.o widget.o window.o lastfile.o gmalloc.o vm-limit.o ralloc.o EmacsFrame.o EmacsShell.o TopLevelEmacsShell.o TransientEmacsShell.o EmacsManager.o ../lwlib/liblw.a -lXm -lcanna -lRKC -ltiff -lpng -ljpeg -lz -lcompface -lXpm -lDtSvc -ltt -lXmu -lXt -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE -ldld -ltermcap -lm EMACSBOOTSTRAPLOADPATH="/ux/xemacs-21.2.26/src/../lisp/:/ux/xemacs-21.2.26" EMACSBOOTSTRAPMODULEPATH="/ux/xemacs-21.2.26/src/../modules/:/ux/xemacs-21.2.26" ./temacs -batch -l /ux/xemacs-21.2.26/src/../lisp/update-elc.el Loading find-paths.el...
