This has been reported to Bugzilla as bug number 160184. I haven't yet

problem, or been able to solve it.

When attempting to compile emacs versions 21.3.50 or 22.0.50 under FC4, 
the process fails with the below messages:

    Dumping under names emacs and emacs-21.3.50
    **************************************************

    exec-shield in etc/PROBLEMS for more information.

Here's what I tried and what happened

1. I was attempting to compile either emacs 22.0.50 from CVS download or 
emacs 21.3.50 from source file "emacs-21.3.50-20041117.tar.gz" 
(available at  
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=17203&package_id=35022&release_id=78364)

2. I issued "setarch i386 ./configure". This worked without error messages.

3. I then issued "setarch i386 make bootstrap". This failed with the 
following messages

I also tried several other things, like issuing " echo 0 > 
/proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield' " to turn off exec-shield completely 
before compiling. This didn't work also.

Both of these versions of Emacs compiled under FC3, using the above process.
