Hi, I'm not sure if this qualifies, but I'd like to suggest that the --with-crt-dir configure option is backported. It fixes Bug 5655 [1], and in Gentoo we apply it to emacs-23.2 (in our stable tree) since May, without any problems. Corresponding commits are 100020 to 100022 [2]. (I don't remember any more if it applied to 23.2 without conflicts. So just in case, a backported patch for 23.2 is here: [3]) Ulrich [1] [2] [3]
