bug#4038: emacs 23 fails to bootstrap itself on Cygwin

[Terrence Brannon]

I tried to build emacs 23 on Cygwin via:

./configure --with-gif=no --with-tiff=no && make

but here is what happened at the end:

I've built cygwin's emacs 23.1 package 
(http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2009-08/msg00002.html).  You could 
take a look at the source to see what I did and try to adapt that to 
your needs.  Two things jump out at me from your output.  First, you 
should use gcc-4 rather than gcc-3; cygwin builds of emacs with gcc-3 
are known to be unstable.  Second, I applied a patch to get rid of 
'-Wl,--image-base,0x20000000', which has also been known to cause problems.

By the way, this may be a good time to remind the emacs developers that 
I sent some patches a while ago:

   http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-06/msg00041.html
   http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-06/msg00330.html

Could you consider applying these now that 23.1 has been released?

Thanks.

bug#4038: emacs 23 fails to bootstrap itself on Cygwin

[knubee]

i get a similar error when running "make bootstrap" on ubuntu 9.04:

this has only started happening in the last couple of days.

The above compile error happens in my Debian 5.0 too.

"git bisect run make" found that the first bad commit is this:

The problem is the call to Fprovide.  syms_of_print is called pretty
early, so the symbols used by Fprovide are not initialized yet.

The fix is simple and should be in the trunk today.

Sorry for the screwup, I didn't do a full build to test this.
