Note that Emacs 21 has native support for (non-CJK) Unicode, so you
may not need Mule-UCS to edit Western utf-8 text, for instance. There

* Building Emacs with GCC 2.9x fails in the `src' directory.
Emacs is linked. With LD_RUN_PATH set, the linker will include a
specified run-time search path in the executable.
-On some systems, Emacs could crash due to problems with dynamic
-linking. Specifically, on SGI Irix 6.5, crashes were reported with
-backtraces like this:

-Please refer to the documentation of your dynamic linker for details.
