Thank's for the hint, but I think 1-615 is a bit outdated. As far as I
know, 1-619 was the last release which depended on the change
mechanism to the original kcl files. Since then (and in any case since
1-625) akcl is a self containing package, which makes things a lot
more easy.
  The real problem is, that I don't want to link with -static, but
I want to get a dynamic -- and thus a more efficient -- akcl. I know
that this is possible, because emacs-19.25 can dump itself dynamically
(with the mentioned `unexsunos4.c'). But I seem to know too little
about the pitfalls of dumping a dynamic executable as I always got
stuck in this matter :-(. That's why I was asking. Maybe, you can
still help me?

Thanks a lot,
-Gunther
