I'm trying to bring GNU Emacs (18.50) up on a Convex here.  temacs
compiles and will load the lisp code correctly, but unexec fails
because the magic number in the temacs header indicates that it
is a SOFF format executable, not a Berkley format (as in <a.out.h>).

If there is an easy way to tell the Convex C compiler to generate
Berkley format executables (assuming that would fix this) I missed it.
I guess that something like the COFF style header handling would have
to be implemented.

Can anybody shed some light on this before I dive into the Convex
manuals???

Thanks,
-Eric
