We have a few of those fancy new DECstation 3100 RISC machines running
Ultrix 3.0.  Below is part of the output when making version 18.51

./temacs -batch -l loadup.el dump

*** Error code 1

Having no idea what was going on, I consulted the PROBLEMS file and found
that fatal errors sometime occur at this stage due to insufficient swap
space.  We have 60Mb for 24 Mb of RAM, so I'd think we were ok there.

However, I've had to guess at which machine and system include files to
use.  The compile and link phases go fine using s-bsd4-3.h and m-mips.h,
but perhaps this is not quite right?  (I did have to remove the -lmld
on the link; there were no complaints without it.)

So has anyone had success bringing it up on one of these beasts?
Thanx for any info...
