Help in building emacs 21.3 on Linux platform

[H. Wan]

I encountered the following error in building
emacs-21.3 on Fedora Linux.

I have :
. downloaded emacs-21.3.targ.gz,
. extracted the directory emacs-21.3,
. invoked ./configure
. executed a make

then I saw the following message on the terminal:

...
Finding pointers to doc strings...done
Wrote
/home/hwan/project/emacs-21.3/lib-src/fns-21.3.1.el
Dumping under names emacs and emacs-21.3.1
make[1]: *** [emacs] Segmentation fault
make[1]: *** Deleting file `emacs'
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/hwan/project/emacs-21.3/src'
make: *** [src] Error 2


Thanks in advance for any pointer on resolving this
problem.

- Hans

    I encountered the following error in building
    emacs-21.3 on Fedora Linux.

1. We are almost ready to release Emacs 22.  Would you like to try
building it, from CVS on savannah.gnu.org, and see if it has the same
problem?

1. Fedora is actually a version of the GNU/Linux system; when they
call it "Linux" alone, they're denying us the credit for our work.
Would you please call it Fedora GNU/Linux?
See http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html for more explanation.
