FWIW, starting with this change, I had to set SITELOAD_PURESIZE_EXTRA also[1] on the machine (SUSE 10.0 [2]) on which it wasn't necessary until some weeks before this change. Unless we find (and fix) the reason for the different pure space requirements, it would be good to increase BASE_PURESIZE to an amount that allows building Emacs without an overflow on most machines, I think. Bye, Reiner. [1] I still need to increase it on the machines as reported previously[3].
