If that's how you made Emacs, the binary in the `src' directory should be unstripped. Hmm, I wonder why didn't you get a backtrace then. Maybe it's your GDB version--it sounds very old (1996 was a long time ago, and it also complained about some part of the .gdbinit file). What does "gdb --version" print? Can you try to build the latest GDB and use that, or use dbx? Another idea is to run Emacs under GDB to begin with, exactly like it was run by Make when it crashed, and see what happens then. Here are the necessary steps, starting from the top-level directory where you unpacked the Emacs sources: cd src gdb ./emacs (gdb) run -q -batch -f list-load-path-shadows If all goes well, this should cause the same crash you see during the build, but this time GDB will kick in, and you should be able to type the "bt" (or "where") command to display the backtrace.
