+*** Compiling on GNU/Linux fails due to a missing left operand in gnu-linux.h.

+The error messages have the form:
+
+  ../src/s/gnu-linux.h:49:24: error: operator '>' has no left operand
+
+This error occurs because your system defines LINUX_VERSION_CODE in
+the standard header file linux/version.h but does not give it a value.
+As a workaround, you can edit the file src/s/gnu-linux.h to add the

+add a line as shown below:
+
+#include <linux/version.h>
+#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132626

+Installation may fail, or the Emacs executable may not start

+as a `configure' argument (e.g. `--prefix').  The problem can also
+occur if a non-ASCII directory is specified in the EMACSLOADPATH
