    I'm having some problems building gnu emacs on a old Integrated Solutions
vme system.  I just upgraded the software from bsd4.2 to bsd4.3 (isi rel 5.1)
and when I do the build now (using m-isi-ov.h and s-bsd4-3.h) temacs bombs with
a EMT trap.  I've already built this version on bsd4.2 with no problems. 
Looking over the m- file I notice that it is force loading the mc and m libs to
fit the crt0.c file used.  (Note: the EMT bomb is on a fmove instruction and I
don't have hardware fp support)

    Anyway, I know why it is bombing.  What I'm asking is "Has anyone made a
version of crt0.c for isi's bsd4.3 that works WITHOUT requiring hardware fp
support?"  When I use the regular c libs I get the responce you'd expect.  The
environment vars are not passed correctly into temacs.  It doesn't bomb but its
useless since it can't figure out where the h*ll it is!!  The last edit date on
the m- file is from '88.  Has anyone fixed this yet or do I have to deconvolute
what isi did to the c startup??

Thanx in advance..
