Patches for CANNOT_DUMP on 23.0.60

[Chris Hall]

Aloha :)

I currently use Emacs on Debian Sarge (sorry, RMS! ;) with a custom 
2.6 kernel.

I have recently also started using the GNUstep port, Emacs.app, on the 
current stable GNUstep.  As of this writing, that would be: 
gnustep-base-1.14.2, gnustep-back-0.12.1 (libart), gnustep-gui-0.12.1, 
gnustep-make-2.0.4.

Attached please find two patches that resolve:

*  While building Emacs 23.0.60, I would consistently get the 
following:

batch-byte-compile quail/CCDOSPY.el
make[1]: *** [quail/CCDOSPY.elc] Segmentation fault

Based on information I received from YAMAMOTO Mitsuharu, the code in 
the attached patch 'gnustep-callproc.c.diff' seems to resolve that 
issue.

*  During startup, Emacs would consistently segfault while attempting 
to dereference a face_cache struct member containing address 0x0.  
This appears to be due to a problem where certain lisp functions get 
called in one order on DUMPED machines, and a different order on 
CANNOT_DUMP machines.  (And again,  YAMAMOTO Mitsuharu was very 
helpful in resolving this.)

The attached patch 'gnustep-frame.c.diff' seems to resolve that issue 
on my machine.

FYI, I also needed to increase SYSTEM_PURESIZE_EXTRA in order to avoid 
the associated warning message on startup.  I used 200000 after first 
trying 100000, which wasn't enough.

You may, of course, Free-ly use (or not!) the attached files.

Mahalo for your time,

Chris Hall
