I've used 18.51 on a Sun-3 and it works fine too.

This is the case.  Notice, though, that NMAGIC executables (which is
what you get if you do -Bstatic and don't ask for OMAGIC) no longer
have their text segments shared.  Doesn't this mean that memory usage
will increse drastically?  I try to encourage people to use gnu-emacs,
and a key argument is that most of that 1M executable is (was) shared
among lots of users.  Let's all work on getting -Bdynamic working!
