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. Paul Mackerras paulus@cs.anu.edu.au Dept. of Computer Science Australian National University.
