Success!! Ira Baxter and Jim Frost both wrote and told me not to use the
optimizing switch on pcc. I still had problems. Then I built emacs telling it
I had no X-windows- It worked fine! But I couldn't get it to work under X.
So I bit the bullet and dug through the sources and used sdb to figure out it
was dying on the select() emulation. A quick check,
nm /usr/lib/libinet.a | grep select
told me that I did have select() so the emulation wasn't needed. I just
patched up config.h to define HAVE_SELECT and now it worked.
One problem I haven't tracked down yet- emacs seems to be ignoring the
defaults I set for it in .Xdefaults. Incidentally, this is gnu-emacs 18.54.
Thanks to Ira and Jim for your help
