Thanks, Kai, for your interest. I gave up on this thread, and started a new one, much more successful: Has anyone actually built emacs 21.3 for SOLARIS (sparc)? I've gotten lots of help on that one. Please go have a look; you'll surely have something worthwhile to add. My idea (promise) was to try to distill all the different (and conflicting!) responses, get them verified by the group, and then see if rms will include them or something like them in the emacs INSTALL file, or maybe an INSTALL-ADDENDUM.
