Thanks for the report, DJ. I can't double-check myself as I build on x86 still. However, your analysis looks fine, and the simple workaround of setting EMACS=no is certainly suitable for the book (far more suitable than blacklisting an entire distribution). I'll add it to the book during the next round of updates.
