There has been no port made to the Gould machine as yet.
Given the existence in later Emacs versions of a portable `alloca'
(written by Doug Gwyn) it should only take a moderate amount of hacking
to do.  However, it is up to the people who use Gould machines to do
this work!  We will certainly distribute the modifications needed to
make Emacs work so that other Gould users can benefit, but we have
neither the resources nor the motiviation to do so ourselves.

So, only thing I know about doing a Gould port is that you should
#define C_ALLOCA in m-gould.h.  Everything else is up to people who
use and know about Gould machines.
