bug#20614: Segmentation fault when building on Power8 Little Endian

Is there any possibility how to suppress dumping emacs?
Shall I add something to ./configure script or even to make?

Greetings

I have a question:

would it be possible to remove unexelf.c code and replace them with a
"just map a file with pre-compiled byte code" as advice me a colleagues in Red Hat?

It seems that this code is also incompatible with PIE.

Together with our binutils-2.23.52.0.1-54 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1247126)
it segfaults each time. Now.
What do you think about it?

Nowadays I have commented out the code mentioned on line
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/src/unexelf.c?h=emacs-24#n869
and afterwards is fails with

Building emacs package on Fedora or even on OpenSuse works fine. But under RHEL-7 still fails. Emacs is build up with full RELRO, though. Version of packages which are used for compilation are: gcc-4.8.3 automake-1.13.4 autoconf-2.69 Compilation flags are:

emacs is SPEC file is compiled so that in %prep section is: - setup - patching some files - ./autogen.sh %build section for emacs-gtk: - ./configure is called. - make bootstrap - make %build section for emacs-nox is: - ./configure is called. - make Is this correct? Compilator has settings like:

  `/bin/pwd`/temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap || exit 1; \

But I don't understand a code at all.
