I tried to build emacs for the sun sparc; I used the other sun headers
(I have previously successfully built emacs for 386 based UNIX systems). 
However, there is a section of code for "alloca.c", written in assembler for
the 68020.  This does not compile for the SPARC, nor, when it is left out of
the makefile, does a successful temacs file get built.  I get a "segmentation
error: core dumped" message when the "temacs -batch" file tries to run.

Have you any ideas for me?  Thanks!
