Re: Emacs 20.6 make failure on GNU/Linux

Following my success in making `make', I've now suceeded in making
Emacs 20.7 by the kludge of replacing each command

   gcc * -o filename *
by 
   gcc * -o /tmp/temporary-file *
   mv -f /tmp/temporary-file filename

I'm compiling on a machine (poincare) running Red Hat Linux 6.1, but
the source code is exported from Solaris 2.6.  I think this shows we
have some NFS problem, either on the GNU/Linux or Solaris side.  

This always fails:

cd emacs-20.7
make clean
cd src
make CFLAGS=-g

I make `temacs', but fail to dump `emacs', and get error messages like

./temacs -batch -l loadup dump
make: *** [emacs] Segmentation fault

But this always succeeds:

cd emacs-20.7
make clean
cd src
bash -x kludge-src-emacs-make

where `kludge-src-emacs-make' is the shell script below.  Here's
evidence of a successfully dumped emacs:

(version)
"GNU Emacs 20.7.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit)
 of Sat Jun 17 2000 on poincare.math.nwu.edu"

I don't know enough `make' to change the Makefile, so I edited the
output of `make CFLAGS=-g'.   Here's kludge-src-emacs-make:
