I don't have access to any IBM unbundled C compilers (cc, xlc, vac). Everything seems to work fine up to the unexec stage: temacs works, but the unexec'ed emacs core dumps immediately in __start(). I've seen a lot of discussion of similar problems in some quite old postings in various newsgroups and mailing lists, but have been unable to find any resolutions to the issue. I've also tried using the unexaix from Xemacs to no avail. Is this a known and still unresolved problem? (I notice that AIX is not among the "Supported Platforms" for emacs 21 on the home page - Is this the reason why?) Thanks, ---- Wayne
