Because there have been a number of non-trivial bugfixes since 24.0.96,
I will make a 24.0.97 pretest this coming Wednesday, the 16th.  Please
plan your commits accordingly.

The only other major issue I am concerned about for the release is the
mysterious GC problem on Mac OS (Bug#11395), so if some Mac user could
help track that down by providing concrete debbugging details or
bisecting, that would be great.

If nothing major crops up, I hope to make the release candidate at the
end of the month.

There are a few cc-mode regressions. I wonder if they will be fixed for
the release? Thanks.

From my reports: bug#11152 and bug#11165. There might be others.

#11448 is also technically a regression.

Some bugs to consider:

Wrong CPP (?) on several older platforms:
http://debbugs.gnu.org/11485

Emacs won't configure on Mac OS X with gcc 4.6 onwards (fix in trunk?):
http://debbugs.gnu.org/9755

Emacs won't dump on Mac OS X with gcc 4.6 onwards:
http://debbugs.gnu.org/9927
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2630203


The last two seem like the kind of thing that might become an annoyance
as gcc 4.6 becomes more widespread.

Off the top of my head, this seems a bit too non-trivial to introduce
now.  We can add a description to PROBLEMS, including a patch.

I think removing -no-cpp-precomp should be ok for emacs-24, if that is
only for supporting a bug in a nearly 10-year-old vendor-modified
compiler.  But could someone with access to Mac OS please first verify
that emacs-24 builds when this change is made?

If there is no fix on hand for that, I'd rather not wait.

Actually, nevermind---I just saw your message that even with this
change, Emacs still doesn't dump with gcc-4.6 on OS X.  So it's not
worth it.

Does anyone know if Bug#9927 exists for Emacs 23 as well, or if it is an
Emacs 24 regression?

I just now asked Peter Dyballa (the original reporter)
about that, here:

I will make the release candidate on the 31st.  Please plan your commits
accordingly, and let me know if there is any issue that you think is a
blocker.  Thanks.

Sorry for the delay.  (I wanted to see if there was a quick solution for
Bug#11541; but that is not a regression against Emacs 23 and
unreproducible on some setups, so I don't think it's worth waiting for
it now.)  I will make the release candidate shortly.
