I don't see this segfault. I am running the default version of gcc, and I assume you are, too. Perhaps you need to rebaseall? Your build path is "...xemacs-21.4.22..." are you sure you're using 21.4.23 sources? > Additionally I had to use an older version of texinfo (namely > version 4.13) otherwise the build breaks when generating the .info files > (I got the information to use an older version from Vin Shelton). Yes, the texinfo incompatibilities is one reason I want to EOL 21.4. An alternative approach for Cygwin would be to patch the .texi sources to work with newer texinfos. > > I then installed everything and with my current setup xemacs crashed as > soon as font-locking is involved.

This error should be fixed in 21.4.23, there's a new configure.in/configure designed to prevent this.
