Hello.  I have recently acquired an NCR Tower 32/700, their new 30Mhz
68030 machine.  It runs System V, R 3.2.

I'm trying to build gnuemacs for them.  I've sucessfully done so for 18.53
on AT&T 3B2/600s running SVR3.2.1 with no problems.

I've got the 18.55 source from the Uunet archives.

After farting around for a while, replacing the include for sioctl.h
with streams.h and ptem.h in sysdep.c, and commenting out the calls to
fchmod in filelock.c, I got the system to compile.  The problem
manifests itself when the makefile tries to run temacs for the first
time, when building the new version number.  All I get is a memory
fault and a core.

I haven't been able to figure out yet why this is.  It may be that
m-tower32.h is not right for this hardware platform.

Does anyone have any suggestions or comments?

Please send email, since I read this newsgroup infrequestly, but in
bulk, and I don't want to lose any tidbits to article expiration.  If
anyone really gives a rip, I can summarize and repost.
