I have been playing with emacs 19.31 and now 19.32 on NetBSD/pmax.

Contrary to the other NetBSD ports, the pmax does provide an environment
for emacs to be configured automatically.

Running configure without parameters guesses pmax-unknown-netbsd1.2.
as the system type, but I had somewhat better success with setting
the system type to mips-dec-netbsd1.2. explicitly (as I have done
with other packages, i.e. binutils).

I still had to tweak the Makefiles to avoid the unexec mechanism
completely (the netbsd configuration is prepared for a.out, not elf).

But now I have actually built an emacs that seems to work. My questions
are:

  -- which system type is the most appropriate for NetBSD/pmax ??
  -- is it a major or a minor task to get the unexec mechanism to
     work properly??
  -- is anybody else working on this, or should I try to clean up
     my changes and forward them to FSF and/or to somebodys NetBSD/pmax
     web pages ??
