I am trying to build Gnu Emacs 18.51 on an IBM PS/2 running AIX.  All of the C
files compile successfully (Although I had to determine the STACK_DIRECTION for
alloca.c via an experiment).  Emacs then successfully links and ./temacs is
built.  Unfortunatly, when ./temacs (./xemacs) is run the following errors
are reported:
	uprf(cmd: ksh): readcoff: text not aligned
	uprf(cmd: ksh): temacs: exec failed (errno = 8)
	./temacs: syntax error at line 1 : ' unexpected

Is this simply a missing Magic Number, or does AIX not use COFF (explained 
in unexec.c) ?

My config.h is including s-usg5-2-2.h and m-ibmrt.h as specified 
in ../etc/MACHINES.

Any help is much appreciated, thanks.
