Forwarding downstream bug: Emacs 24.1 fails to build on an amd64 system with x32 ABI [1][2]. During compilation, about 20000 warnings like: warning: left shift count >= width of type [enabled by default] warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by default] occur, and finally the build process aborts with a segmentation fault: if test "no" = "yes"; then \ ln -f temacs bootstrap-emacs; \ else \ `/bin/pwd`/temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap || exit 1; \ test "X" = X || -zex emacs; \ mv -f emacs bootstrap-emacs; \ fi /bin/sh: line 6: 27446 Segmentation fault `/bin/pwd`/temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap make[1]: *** [bootstrap-emacs] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-editors/emacs-24.1/work/emacs-24.1/src' make: *** [src] Error 2 See [3] for the full build log. I've attached a one line patch that fixes the problem for me. AFAICS, Emacs from BZR is not affected. (Sorry about the bad timing, but x32 support in Gentoo is just available since a few days.)
