When compiling Emacs 24.3 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 the compilation crashes with a segmentation fault from temacs, see snippet from make output below. Configure was run with:
./configure --prefix=/users/abb/temp/install_emacs24_3
Emacs 23.3 works fine. Further down shown output from Emacs 24.3 configure output.
