1798 There are a couple of problems [with use of -rpath with Irix ld], though:
1799
1800 1. The ld in IRIX 5.3 ignores all but the last -rpath
1801 spec, so the patched configure spits out a warning
1802 if --x-libraries or --site-runtime-libraries are
1803 specified under irix 5.x, and it only adds -rpath
1804 entries for the --site-runtime-libraries. This bug was
1805 fixed sometime between 5.3 and 6.2.
1806
1807 2. IRIX gcc 2.7.2 doesn't accept -rpath directly, so
1808 it would have to be prefixed by -Xlinker or "-Wl,".
1809 This would be fine, except that configure compiles with
1810 ${CC-cc} $CFLAGS $LDFLAGS ...
1811 rather than quoting $LDFLAGS with prefix-args, like
1812 src/Makefile does. So if you specify --x-libraries
1813 or --site-runtime-libraries, you must use --use-gcc=no,
1814 or configure will fail.
1815
1816 * On Irix 5.x and 6.x, the dumped XEmacs (xemacs) core dumps when executed
1817 on another machine, or after newer SGI IRIX patches have been installed.
1818
1819 The xemacs binary must be executed with the same "libc.so" file which was used
1820 when the xemacs binary was dumped. Some SGI IRIX patches update this file.
1821 Make sure that all machines using the xemacs binary are using the same
1822 set of IRIX patches. If xemacs core dumps after a patch upgrade then you
1823 will have to redump it from temacs.
1824
1825 * xemacs: can't resolve symbol '__malloc_hook'
1826
1827 This is a Linux problem where you've compiled the XEmacs binary on a libc
1828 5.4 with version higher than 5.4.19 and attempted to run the binary against
1829 an earlier version. The solution is to upgrade your old library.
1830
1831 * VM appears to hang in large folders
1832
1833 This is normal (trust us) when upgrading to VM-6.22 from earlier versions.
1834 Let VM finish what it is doing and all will be well.
