On the newest Fedora Core tests, the setarch i386 workaround is no longer sufficient for dumping.
It turns out that one way to fix this is to use echo 0 >/proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space (which only root can do). Uh oh. The error message is Dumping under names emacs and emacs-22.0.50 ************************************************** Warning: Your system has a gap between BSS and the heap (6716260 byte). This usually means that exec-shield or something similar is in effect. The dump may fail because of this. See the section about exec-shield in etc/PROBLEMS for more information. ************************************************** make[1]: *** [bootstrap-emacs] Segmentation fault make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/tmp/emacs-build/src' make: *** [bootstrap-build] Error 2 It seems like we are playing catchup with the operating system's security games. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
