I've just got emacs-19.22 going on my NetBSD system.  I used the NetBSD
make.  The only problem was that the generated Makefile in the src directory
had two lines which contained only a form-feed (^L), which make didn't like.
I deleted those lines and everything went fine.

Also, I have a version of unexec() which handles NetBSD-style shared libraries
working (unexnetbsd.c, plus some definitions in s/netbsd.h).  I expect it should
work with Lucid emacs also.  If anyone is interested in it, let me know.
