This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I have reported the problem to gnu.emacs.bug before, but now I found a
workaround that might help to actually find the bug.

When trying to build emacs-21.2 by a simple ./configure && make the
build emacs crashed when it tries to dump emacs:

If I 
  ./configure --disable-largefile && make
the build goes well and emacs seems to work fine (so far:)
