Solaris 8 build problem

Solaris 8 build problem

[lkanawi]

Hi, searched the archives for this problem, but didn't find it, so here 
goes:

When attempting to build emacs 21.4a on a Solaris 8 host, I encounter a 
fatal error when the build calls the emacs it just compiled.  This error 
can be easily reproduced by then running the emacs binary in ./src/  I'm 
using gcc 3.3.2 and gnu make 3.8.

The problem occuring is that emacs crashes while exiting, seemingly 
while closing the auto-save file it has had open.


This is the error i see when building:

The way to debug this would be with a debugger.
If "truss" is a system call trace, you can't expect that to
be very helpful.
