This is a known problem with new Kernel security settings used in
Fedora named Exec-Shield (see
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/). This breaks Emacs' build
process. You need to either disable exec-shield via
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield
or use the setarch command:
setarch i386 ./configure ...
setarch i386 make ...

See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/17457 for more details.

Did you ever realize how much text fits in eighty columns? If you now consider
that a signature usually consists of up to four lines, this gives you enough
space to spread a tremendous amount of information with your messages. So seize
this opportunity and don't waste your signature with bullshit nobody will read.
