Hi,
before I'll ask a bigger audience, I ask here:
As some of you know, emacs dies, when started to open it's own
X window on Linux/MIPS. While trying to debug emacs with gdb,
I found out, that emacs kills it's own .mdebug section when it dumps
(it inserts a new .data section, which kills all references in
the .mdebug section).
Now I'm looking for a way to start a X session with temacs, which has
a working .mdebug section. I'm able to do a temacs -l loadup, which
will give me a "normal" looking emacs. But I haven't found a way to get
temacs to create a X session.
Any hints ?
Thomas.

You're doomed. At least on XEmacs this hasn't worked for a while, and
I guess FSF Emacs isn't in any better shape in that area. Fixing the
undumping code may be easier. Too bad I've not yet been able to
install linux on the indy I use or I would probably have fixed that
myself for XEmacs.

Thanks for the tip. It was fairly easy to fix the undumping code, because
everything was already there. It was just ifdef'd out for Linux. Now
I have a dumped emacs with working debugging information and a lot
to learn about XtCreateWidget().
Thomas.
