I'll try GCC 4.2 in the morning, then hardware test.
Yes, a good plan, IMO. Since `sqrt' is inlined by GCC, it could well
be a compiler bug. I believe there's a switch to disable this
inlining, so perhaps that's also something to try.
In order to compile GNU Emacs with GCC 4.2 I had to patch configure
(and configure.in) to not set CPP to "${CC-cc} -E -no-cpp-precomp" (-
no-cpp-precomp is an Apple addition that is not right now
implemented, or will never be?) and to patch src/s/darwin.h to not
define C_SWITCH_SYSTEM to '-fpascal-strings -DMAC_OSX' (-fpascal-
strings is another Apple add-on). It compiled OK three times with
different levels of optimisation. Then I was encouraged to retry with
GCC 4.0 – and it compiled, as well! I made changes to the compiler
switches and to the level of optimisation – it still compiled OK.
I cannot recall how the faulty compilation was configured (the
config.log was not saved), I just remember that there was something
phony in the *compilation* buffer due to re-configuration, but this
would have to mean that config.status was patched somehow during CVS
update or such ... (too bad that machine is not built into Tiger!)
Launching new Emacs as src/emacs I get a warning:
Warning (initialization): Building Emacs overflowed pure space.
(See the node Pure Storage in the Lisp manual for details.)
Setting SYSTEM_PURESIZE_EXTRA to 1000 solved this issue.
Another strange effect becomes visible:
Warning: desktop file appears to be in use by PID 26912. Using it
may cause conflicts. Use it anyway? (y or n)
or such appears in echo area for the tenth of a second, or less, and
is then replaced with a
Loading cal-bahai...done
so I can't answer the question. Using -q or -Q at emacs invocation
time can't work, because then no desktop file would be used. In
"normal" use of GNU Emacs, i.e. launching it off /usr/local/bin, the
init files are respected and no religious calendar is loaded ...
