I'm having problems getting EMACS 18.55 to run on our sparc (sunos 4.1).
I am doing "make" and "make install" from the EMACS root directory. No
errors occur. Everything gets compiled ok, the executables get created,
and put in the right place. However, when I try to execute "emacs" I get
the following error message:

	>Fatal error (6).Abort (core dumped)

I have modified src/config.h so that it contains the following lines:

   #define HAVE_SUN_WINDOWS /* I added this, it precedes the next 2 lines */
   #include "s-sunos4.h"    /* s-bsd4-2.h and s-bsd4-3.h don't work either */
   #include "m-sparc.h"

to define our environment.  Has anyone built GNU EMACS 18.55 so that it
executes in this type of environment? If so, what (if anything) did they
do to get it to run?

Please mail your replies to me at:
