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?
