We are trying to build emacs on the sun4.  this is a chronology of what we
have done.

1. before any changes the compile and link of temacs would complete.
then when temacs tried to execute it died with a seg. violation.
eventually we determined that ld needed a start point. 

2. So we edited the ld flags to include " -e __start". we touched all
files and restarted the build-install. Now when it tried to load
we got and error  "__DYNAMIC symbol lookup failed".

3. We concluded this had something to do with dynamic linking so we
added the flag -Bstatic to the ld flags and tried again.

4. success (sort of ) temacs will now run. Except that the executable is
in excess of 1meg in size.  

5. then we decided to build with sunview option.  But discovered that
sun only ships the sharable versions of the suntools library. 

So that is where we are now. In a nutshell how do we build the emacs
to use shareable library.  We cant find any reference to the __DYNAMIC
symbol.

Thanks for your help.
