4 Now that's interesting. I built the system using binutils-2.16.90.0.3 (~mips
5 at the time), then downgraded to 2.16.1 to solve bug #112809. Now, Emacs
6 won't even emerge - the temacs binary (seems to be a semi-standalone elisp
7 compiler used to bootstrap Emacs) segfaults immediately upon start, and GDB
8 only says:

10 (gdb) run -batch -l loadup dump
11 Starting program: /var/tmp/portage/emacs-21.4-r1/work/emacs-21.4/src/temacs
12 -batch -l loadup dump
13 Warning:
14 Cannot insert breakpoint -2.
15 Error accessing memory address 0x266f3: Input/output error.
16
17 Binutils-2.16.91.0.2 gives the same error, but with 2.16.90.0.3 at least Emacs
18 builds, even though it doesn't run in X. Perhaps rebuilding the entire system
19 with 2.16.1 or 2.16.91.0.2 would make Emacs build?
