On OSX, build emacs with X11, I see the following:
Victoria:bin admin$ ls -lh emacs*
-rwxr-xr-t 2 admin staff 13M May 23 2010 emacs
-rwxr-xr-t 2 admin staff 13M May 23 2010 emacs-23.2
Wikipedia says it's a NOP and according to sticky(8) it has no effect on
OSX because the kernel knows better than you about stuff like that now.

The toplevel Makefile sets this up, search for "chmod 1755".

I guess this holds for almost every halfway modern system. On
GNU/Linux, the sticky bit has always been ignored for non-directories.
