	I have recently compiled and built emacs 18.55 after applying
diff patches for AUX. I am using gcc 1.37 and gas 1.36.

	I have been able get all the way through the build by using
"gcc -O -traditional -D_SYSV_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE" as  $CC. I get warnings
periodically throughout the build process about O_GLOBAL being redefined
and some variables/functions "previously defined as extern and later static"
but things progress and the build and install complete.

	When I run emacs, things come up OK, but there are a few problems.
The first time I try to visit any file with 'C-x C-f path/filename' I get
a message about "lisp unknown symbol: t" and the file doesn't appear. That's nothe exact message, but it's close.  The second attempt to visit the file will
work OK. This is repeatable - it takes two attempts to visit any file.  The
second problem shows up whenever I try to do a Command Apropos with 
"C-h C-h A". When I give the "Command Apropos:" prompt anything like find
or search etc.  I get a stack overflow byte compiler error: PC=16 error
message.

	Can anyone who is familiar with the internal workings of emacs
point me to some possible causes for these errors? Any help would be
appreciated.
