If it contains those things, it appears to be a GNU/Linux distribution, not a distribution of Linux alone. See http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html. Now back to my question: why emacs 19.34 segfault when built against glibc-2.3 and Xfree 4.3.0? We're not maintaining Emacs 19.34 any more, because it is obsolete. Other people are free to work on it if they want to. In contrast,, we might be interested in trying to fix this problem I want to use a elisp script called cemacs (for Chinese inputs) but unfortunately the inclusion the MULE (Multi-lingual Extension) since version 20 has broken it. if you send a bug report with a precise complete test case. We are certainly interested in improving MULE. Could you write to emacs-devel@gnu.org and tell us why specifically MULE is not as good as cemacs for your usage?
