My trusty version 18.54 of Gnu Emacs won't build properly on a Sun3/80
running SunOS 4.1.1.  I used s-sunos4.h and m-sun3.h in config.h, and
got a protest from the linker about getpagesize being defined twice in
malloc.c.  By commenting out getpagesize.h I can get temacs to build,
but it dumps core when it attempts to load site-init.el in the
`/temacs -batch -l loadup.el dump' stage of the make.  The behavior is
the same whether I compile with gcc or the default cc.

The core dump pointed at malloc, so I tried compiling with
SYSTEM_MALLOC defined.  That produced a quick core dump when temacs
ran, with a protest about an `Arithmetic error'.

My apologies if these are Frequently Asked Questions, but I'd
appreciate any suggestions to get Emacs up and running on this
machine.  I'm desperate without it.  Thanks.
