yes, I only deleted temacs and linked again

info source tells for temacs and emacs
(no matter if compiled/linked with gcc 3.3.2 or 3.0.4):

Current source file is /vol/freeware/cvs/emacs/head/emacs/src/emacs.c
Compilation directory is /vol/freeware/SunOS-5.8/build/emacs-cvs/src/
Located in /vol/freeware/cvs/emacs/head/emacs/src/emacs.c
Contains 2404 lines.
Source language is c.
Compiled with stabs debugging format.
Does not include preprocessor macro info.

    Eli> Also, does `temacs' work, in both cases, if invoked like this:
    Eli> 
    Eli>       temacs -q -l loadup

yes, this works in both cases

I've added "-V" to TEMACS_LDFLAGS and now I see that the new gcc is calling
GNU ld:

gcc 3.3.2 uses GNU ld:
 GNU ld version 2.14 20030612
   Supported emulations:
    elf32_sparc
    elf64_sparc

whereas gcc 3.0.4 uses the sun linker:
 ld: Software Generation Utilities - Solaris Link Editors: 5.8-1.283


so I'm pretty sure it's a linker problem, though both temacs versions run.
But the crash happened in libXT and I guess this one's not called in temacs.
