I cannot see anything in Emacs 20.6's unexelf.c that used .got sections. Can you tell more precisely what was removed in Emacs 21? WIthout the additional info, I cannot figure out who removed that, and so cannot ask that person for the reasons, nor look in the logs for possible explanations. > Afterwards emacs 21 worked, although it is not quite right: it gives > dbx fits, and is subject to runaway memory growth and sporadic > crashes. That's very strange: I use stock Emacs 21.1 on SGI Irix 6.5 all the time, and I have yet to see a single crash. dbx seems to work on it reasonably well, but I didn't debug Emacs on that machine enough to have a firm opinion. Did you link your Emacs with optional graphics libraries (XPM, TIFF, etc.), and if so, are those dynamic libraries or static libraries?
