But this hack is too ugly, so I never bothered to send the patch upstream (I also never used XEmacs myself, so I don't care much). I've heard that the current version of XEmacs use a different dumper which doesn't have this problem any more, but I didn't test it yet. > Was there ever a GNU emacs obstacle on ia64 linux, or am I confusing > the situation with xemacs? Since GNU Emacs does not assign function pointers at runtime there was never such a problem.
