Gnu emacs 18.51 (note 51, not 53) comes on the Ultrix unsupported tape for the
Decstation3100.  This version is set up to use the -O flag during the
compilations.  If you try to compile it the compilation will fail with an
assembler error in one module.  If you compile this module without optimization
then the compilation completes normally but emacs has lots of problems.

I eventually compiled gnu emacs without the -O flag and everything seems to be
working well.
