To add another data point, the latest master builds and runs well for me on NetBSD 7.0.1_PATCH amd64 (GCC (nb2 20150115) 4.8.4). I used it for a while with normal editing and packages like Magit, W3m, SLIME and etc. No problems so far.

Thanks.  You can go back to master, now that concurrency landed there.
