RE: Anyone built Emacs with gcc-3.3?

[Marshall, Simon]

Yes, Emacs works with 3.2.3.  With 3.3 it dumps core on C-x C-c in
__do_global_dtors_aux() after Fkill_emacs() calls exit().

    I've tried to build emacs-21.3 and 21.1.90 with gcc-3.3 on
solaris-2.8
    but without success.

Does it work with other GCC versions?

                          Emacs builds but coredumps on exit, see bug
#11386
    at GCC Bugzilla via
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11386.

Do you mean it core dumps when you type C-c C-c?

The way to debug this is to treat it as an Emacs bug.  When you
find the bug, it will actually be a miscompiled function (if this
is GCC's fault).  Then you can send a useful GCC bug report.
