Hi,

emacs build is failing on Fedora 12 GNU/Linux 64 bit due to what
appears to be missing end of line escape characters ('\') in the
Makefile.
I reported this to fedora bugzilla (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=540921 ), but I think it
is not specific to fedora packaging as
tarballs downloaded from gnu mirrors also fails to build.

Regards
Praveen

Ah, I tested with Emacs from CVS head.  This has been fixed there:

2009-10-23  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

         * configure.in: Invoke $CPP with -P when creating Makefile and
         src/Makefile.  Without this, gcc 4.4.2 converts each
         backslash-newline pair in the input to a bare newline, yielding
         invalid Makefiles.

Running
% CPPFLAGS=-P ./configure ...

works. This is what you have to do until 23.2 comes out.
