Comment 1 Jerry James 2011-10-31 16:56:36 UTC 
This appears to have been due to the (now infamous) glibc-2.14.90-13 release.  Those logs indicate that XEmacs had gone totally mad.  It's behavior makes no sense at all.  A scratch build today against glibc-2.14.90-15 completed normally.  There must have been some really interesting code motion going on.

I see that the merge of the f17-gmp tag is underway.  I'll wait until that is done and then kick off one more xemacs build.  But I have a concern.  Was *everything* in f17-gmp built against glibc-2.14.90-13?  If so, I hate to say it, but you'd probably better build the whole set of packages yet again.  There may be all kinds of weird behavior lurking in those builds.
