*** AIX 4.3.x or 4.4: Compiling fails.
This could happen if you use /bin/c89 as your compiler, instead of
the default 'cc'. /bin/c89 treats certain warnings, such as benign
redefinitions of macros, as errors, and fails the build. A solution
is to use the default compiler 'cc'.
*** AIX 4: Some programs fail when run in a Shell buffer
with an error message like No terminfo entry for "unknown".
On AIX, many terminal type definitions are not installed by default.
'unknown' is one of them. Install the "Special Generic Terminal
Definitions" to make them defined.

This is likely to happen because Shell32.dll shipped with NT4 lacks
the updates required by Emacs. Installing Internet Explorer 4 solves
the problem. Note that it is NOT enough to install IE6, because doing
so will not install the Shell32.dll update.

To support server sockets, Emacs loads ws2_32.dll. If this file is

Old versions of Windows 95 may not have the required DLL. To use
Emacs's networking features on Windows 95, you must install the
"Windows Socket 2" update available from MicroSoft's support Web.

*** OpenBSD 4.0 macppc: Segfault during dumping.
The build aborts with signal 11 when the command './temacs --batch
--load loadup bootstrap' tries to load files.el. A workaround seems
to be to reduce the level of compiler optimization used during the
build (from -O2 to -O1). It is possible this is an OpenBSD
GCC problem specific to the macppc architecture, possibly only
occurring with older versions of GCC (e.g. 3.3.5).
