Re: Emacs 21.4a - Solaris 10 x86, Fatal error (11) on exit

[Jeff Blaine <jblaine@mitre.org>]

FWIW, this is solved with 21.3 by getting the CVS version
of src/unexelf.c and src/unexsol.c as of 12/15/2005 at
least.

How to get the files:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/emacs \
co emacs

I would be surprised if the same did not work for 21.4

Works for SPARC and x86 Solaris 10 with GCC 3.4 (and I
bet others).
