Hi there,

  I had problems compiling xemacs-20.0-b91 on linux (or better, it
compiled/linked fine, but dumped core (segv) instead of dumping itself
towards the end of the make run. The problem seems to be located somewhere
in libc-5.4.20 when using gnu-malloc. Adding '--use-system-malloc' made
xemacs work fine.

  Also, as mentioned a while ago, it would be nice, if configure checks
the location of db.h, as I still need to add
'--site-includes=/usr/include/db' in Debian/GNU Linux 1.2 (which has db.h
located in that directory).

P.S: Has someone got some 'sample' sound files (along with the elisp stuff
     to play them from xemacs - since I now have proper soundcard support
     on my system I compiled with --with-sound=both, and now I'd like to
     try whether it works or not).
