We are attempting to get gnu_emacs to run on a vax 8530/vms4.5 system.  The
same release is running on two microvaxen(vms4.5).  So, we did a backup of
all files on the microvax and loaded them onto the 8530.  After changing
emacs.com as appropriate, low and behold the program blows up with an 
error number 4 in module sysdep, routine init_sys_modes at line 5685. 

I attempted to recompile and link.  The recompile seems to go ok but the
link produces the following:

1 undefined symbol:
        SETVBUF
Undefined symbol SETVBUF referenced
        in psect $CODE offset %X000002E0
        in module SYSDEP file SYS$USER:[LIBRARY.EMACS.SRC]SYSDEP.OBJ;2

Now the question is *why* does this work on the micro vax and not the
8530.  Looking at the code, I see that SETVBUF is referenced, but I've
not the vaguest idea what to do about it.

Any ideas out there?  Please respond via mail as I don't read this
newsgroup.  Thanks!
