Hi!

I succeeded in building 20.0 with gcc 2.7.2.1 on my Linux 
system with the following configuration:

There were a few problems though:

1. configure thought it had detected the Berkley DB header file. I
   had to disable database support to compile the sources.
   This was probably caused by a file called db.h in my XView 
   include directory, but I'm not sure.

2. I had to use the compiler flag -DX_LOCALE. Otherwise XEmacs
   complained about "locale not supported by..." when I started
   it with LANG=ja_JP.EUC. (This may be a problem with my
   system)

3. There seems to be a problem with TeX mode. When I issue the
   command tex-buffer, XEmacs just hangs and uses lots of CPU time. 
   Has anyone else tried this?

4. There seems to be a problem with Kanji fonts in the mode line.
   The kanji characters appear to be chopped off at the top. It 
   happens, when the height of the Kanji font is larger than the 
   height of the roman fonts. I used the font  
   -JIS-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--16-150-75-75-C-160-JISX0208.1983-0.
   You can see the effect when Canna starts up. Its says Canna
   (in japanese) on the left side of the mode line then. 
   After incresing the size of the roman fonts, it worked fine.
