Well, I know someone have done this before...
I am trying to compile emacs-19.25 on my FreeBSD-1.1.5.1 machine.
I first installed gmake and then I did:

% configure i386-intel-386bsd --with-x=no
% gmake MAKE=gmake

Then linking temacs fails with:
ld: No reference to __DYNAMIC

So I add -Bstatic to the LDFLAGS, now temacs compiles and dumps
without any complaints. But when running emacs it just says:
emacs: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

Just runing temacs works fine, so I assume that the dumping didn't
work properly?
This I assume is a FAQ, maybe it should be added? (maybe it is? I
couldn't find it though)

thanks for your time,
/Sebastian
