  Last night I tried all the sugeestions I got from you about compiling
emacs on MacBSD.

  I tookout nostdlib from the final step and the emacs loads and look like
everything looks like it worked. I doa final make install, and it puts the
binary and other lisp stuff in the right place. But then when I execute
emacs, I get error. As follows.

# /usr/local/bin/emacs
NVaN^NuNV: not found
3Y9: not found
/usr/local/bin/emacs: /9: not found
/usr/local/bin/emacs: /aTb/aZNqredraw-frameNVB'a&xa%a,B'a&tHy
4aZjB'R9
ipB'/9
a5H 9
}lN^Nuredraw-displayNV 9
`9: not found
kh29: not found
/usr/local/bin/emacs: }lg/a: not found
}lN^NuNV: not found
/usr/local/bin/emacs: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

  Looks like it is not finding a bunch of library routines. So maybe
that__DYNAMIC, which I got rid of by not having nostdlib, mybe still a
problem.
Let me know if this rings any bell

  Thanks once again for your help.
