(Partial) Success Re: emacs23.3 issues and hurd signals

[Svante Signell]

Status update. 

Emacs23 builds from source, yippee! Even the Debian packages build. The
problem is one of the Debian patches. However, I have not yet found how
to modify the patch to compile properly on GNU/Hurd. One puzzling thing
is that the same patch worked without problems on 23.2.

One more important issue is that the compile completely freezes kvm/hurd
1-2 times out of 3, requiring a reboot every time. It always happens
when dumping into emacs...

Loading .../emacs23-23.3+1/debian/build-x/lisp/site-init.el (source)...
Dumping under the name emacs

When checking the disk after reboot the .../emacs inode is wrong (and as
always the /dev/tt?, etc inodes)

Any ideas?
