Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpmbuild --rebuild emacs-21.3-4.1.src.rpm
  

Additional info:
Comment 1 Jens Petersen 2005-02-14 07:58:57 UTC 
Hmmm, reproduced.
Comment 2 Jay Turner 2005-02-14 09:52:24 UTC 
Very strange indeed.  Reproduced on i386, but IA64 and x86_64 are just fine.
Comment 3 Jens Petersen 2005-02-15 02:27:44 UTC 
Yep, this is probably due to execshield being added to the kernel.

So one needs to build emacs with "setarch i386" for RHEL 3
now too.  This will get fixed in the next emacs update.
Comment 4 Jens Petersen 2005-02-15 02:34:32 UTC 
ie this bug 101818 for RHEL  3..
Comment 5 Zenon Panoussis 2005-02-15 03:04:47 UTC 
Ugh. Logically, using 'setarch i386' on an i386 system should make no
difference at all. Reality defies logic though, and the package does
build correctly with 'setarch i386 rpmbuild --rebuild
emacs-21.3-4.1.src.rpm'. Thank you for this. I guess the bug can be
closed with WORKAROUND_AVAILABLE ;)
Comment 6 Zenon Panoussis 2005-02-15 03:07:25 UTC 
BTW, could this apply to RHEL 4 too? Better fix it before it hits the
streets.
Comment 7 Jens Petersen 2005-02-15 03:28:41 UTC 
Basically "setarch i386" disables the kernel VM extension that
breaks emacs dumping.

The workaround has already been in Fedora Core for a while
and is already in RHEL 4. :)

Thank you very much for reporting this issue.

[Leaving this open until the workaround has been built.]
