I'm not sure emacs-devel is worth bothering over all the details here,
so I'll drop it from the CC: list for now. We can send emacs-devel a
summary later as needed.

Thanks, that wasn't obvious, I used that. Perhaps make it part of the
brief HOWTO?

I'm a fan of fixing warnings; otherwise I find that I stop paying
attention to them. Surely there's some option I can give to qemu to
suppress the warning, and that could be part of the HOWTO?

These work, thanks. The latter takes a looong time. Perhaps this should
be written down too.

This fails with 'Reading package lists... Done
E: Unable to find a source package for emacs24/emacs25'. I forged ahead
by running just "apt-get build-dep emacs25" but that failed with:
E: Failed to fetch

Error reading from server. Remote end closed connection [IP:

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with
--fix-missing?
E: Failed to process build dependencies
I tried running "apt-get build-dep emacs25" again. This time it finished.

I don't want to do this, as I want to build from the master branch. I
did that, with plain 'configure; make'.
Emacs built and eventually attempted to dump itself, and while it was
doing so, the operating system crashed. When I attempted to reboot, fsck
failed. I ran fsck -y by hand (took a while) and rebooted. When the OS
came back up, temacs was size-0, so I removed it and ran 'make' again.
This time it worked, in the sense that I can now run Emacs in a tty window.
So, it sounds like we can declare victory against this bug, at least for
the master branch. At least, it worked for me, if you ignore the OS
crashing during the build. Possibly the crash was because I didn't
reboot after the 'apt-get dist-upgrade' (you didn't say to reboot, so I
didn't....).
