        I am happy to report that I have solved the problems I was 
having in getting emacs-18.55 built for AUX 2.0. I had used the 
patches (emacs-18.55.aux.diffs) from apple.com and gcc to compile
the sources from the full emacs sources distribution that we have
on our X11R4 and GNU cd-rom (sold by 'Young Minds, Inc.') at work.

I was getting all kinds of errors and strange behavior when running
my build of emacs. It turns out that all the *.elc files in the
emacs/lisp directory of the emacs distribution had been compiled
by emacs on a SUN workstation and were failing when executing under
AUX 2.0. I used my emacs to re-compile the *.el files with a 
'emacs -batch -f batch-byte-compile *.el' . This produces a new
set of compiled *.elc files. I then went back and did 'make' again
except now the new *.elc files were loaded during the make.

Everything is now working great!!

Thanks to everyone for bearing with me!
