He installed GCC 4.2 on a > 10.5 machine and obtained similar results. Sorry, there's too much noise in that bug, and from what I can see what is there, it does not point to the fact that gcc-4.2 is the problem: CFLAGS='-g -O0' CC=gcc-4.0 ./configure --without-ns --without-x [snip] dump failure. So can you please summarize the info and try to go step by step: 1. find out if you find a machine where you have gcc-4.2 failing and some other version of gcc working. 2. make sure that when using the 2 versions of gcc above only the compiler is different, not the rest of the tools: assembler, linker, or any libraries 3. if you have non-gcc-4.2 working, compile with it, remove temacs and then link the same object files with gcc-4.2 and see if that works Depending what you get above we can figure out what to do next. Do not assume that people on this list are familiar with macs, or what various commands to install packages actually do
