So far I've found that my builds seem to be working perfectly on the Red Hat system, and almost perfectly on the AIX system. The problem on the AIX system is when I ssh in from a normal terminal and my $TERM is 'xterm', my backspace and delete keys remove characters in the opposite direction from what they should. *But*, if I instead first fire up an aixterm, then run emacs, backspace and delete do what I expect. Neither setting normal-erase-is-backspace-mode to 0 or 1 works. Is there a way to fix this? Anything I can do to further diagnose the problem? My gut feeling is that I missed a flag when I ran my initial ./configure before building on the AIX system.
