No, not really. I'd have to change some statements in the Makefiles  
to make ld bind the binaries to particular libraries (most probably  
statically) and haven't yet used my spare-time to investigate on this  
topic, copy good examples from other software. Besides, maybe I am  
the last one who tries to compile up-to-date software on an old set  
of soft- and PPC hardware. Apple's Tiger, Mac OS X 10.4(.11), is now  
four or five years old, the 'recent' Mac OS X 10.5.x, Leopard, is  
going to be superseded by Snow Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6, any day now...

Since I am sure that this is the reality (not a 'buggy' software from  
GNU/FSF) I am a bit reluctant and rather pay attention to not xkill  
GNU Emacs.
