Paraphrasing the statement should avoid the problem. I have not yet
received word as to the exact statement this is.
The Apollo has a bizarre operating system which does not permit
Emacs to be dumped with preloaded pure Lisp code. Therefore, each
time you start Emacs on this system, the standard Lisp code is loaded
into it. Expect it to take a long time. You can prevent loading of
the standard Lisp code by specifying the -nl switch. It must
come at the beginning of the command line; only the -t and -batch
switches may come before it.
There is one remaining problem on the Apollo. You must replace
the CPP line in src/Makefile with "CPP = /usr/lib/cpp".
The C preprocessor lives there rather than in /lib/cpp because the
Aegis OS uses the /lib directory as the repository for shared libraries.
Here is a design for a method of dumping and reloading the relevant
necessary impure areas of Emacs.
On dumping, you need to dump only the array `pure' plus the
locations that contain values of forwarded Lisp variables or that are
protected for garbage collection. The former can be found by a
garbage- collection-like technique, and the latter are in the
staticprolist vector (see alloc.c for both things).
Reloading would work in an Emacs that has just been started; except
when a switch is specified to inhibit this, it would read the dump
file and set all the appropriate locations. The data loaded must be
relocated, but that's not hard. Those locations that are of type
Lisp_Object can be found by a technique like garbage-collection, and
those of them that point to storage can be relocated. The other data
read from the file will not need to be relocated.
The switch to inhibit loading the data base would be used when it
is time to dump a new data base.
This would take a few seconds, which is much faster than loading
the Lisp code of Emacs from scratch.

Emacs will probably not work with certain kernel constants too small.
In param.h CDLIMIT should be at least (1L << 12) in order to allow
processes to write up to 2 Mbyte files. If it's too small,
you can perhaps fix it using the file `ulimit.hack' in this directory.
Note that for V.3.1 and later releases, this parameter is configurable
processes to write up to 2 Mbyte files. This parameter is configurable
by normal means in /etc/master.d/kernel; examine that file for the
symbol CDLIMIT or ULIMIT, and raise it by several powers of 2. Then
do normal kernel rebuild things via "cd /boot; mkboot -k KERNEL" and so
forth. Do not use ulimit.hack if you have V.3.1 or later.
forth.
In seg.h NSEGP and STACKSEG should be at least 16 and 4 respectively
to allow processes with total size of up to 2Mbytes.

Changes for the Roadrunner architecture were merged in 18.51.
There is a bug in the Export version of SunOS 4.0 shipped outsde the
US; it has something to do with Pentagon export restrictions on the
DES chips in Suns. The symptom is that "cc -Bstatic ..." WILL NOT
WORK ON SUNOS 4.0 EXPORT without a little help from "ar". The
static C-library is /lib/libc.a, and this is where the problem
occurs. There are a bunch of .o files in there relating to DES
stuff (des_crypt.o, des_soft.o, _crypt.o, etc). All of them will
cause cc -Bstatic to die with these errors:
> _edata: ld: user attempt to redefine loader-defined symbol
> _end: user attempt to redefine loader-defined symbol
> _etext: /lib/libc.a(des_crypt.o): multiply defined
In order to make cc -Bstatic useful, you must remove all the
brain-damaged .o files from /lib/libc.a. To do this use
ar d /lib/libc.a des_crypt.o des_soft.o _crypt.o ....
(Make a backup of /lib/libc.a first, you may decide you need the "real"
thing someday). Note that there are a bunch of these files, these may
not be all of them. You will find them quick enough by trying to
compile ANY C program, even one which does NOTHING.
