For a while now, I've been unable to compile emacs under current; I
don't know when it started, but my tries started at 1.6U and it's
still the same with 1.6ZC built just in the last two hours. 

The build system is:

and this is what happens.

Also, an emacs binary that I still have always dumps core on exit;
this is what happens according to gdb:

| #18 0x804d51c in XMapRaised ()

Unfortunately, I can't provide more information because---I can't
build a new binary with more debug information.

Is there any way that this can be resolved quickly and I'm just
missing?  

Thanks,
 Konrad

PS: For future reference, is it better to send-pr something like this,
or continue sending it here?
