bug#20868: 24.5; Emacs dumper should be portable


From: Philipp Stephani
Subject: bug#20868: 24.5; Emacs dumper should be portable
Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2015 21:43:27 +0200

I think the Emacs dumper should be rewritten to no longer rely on
reading its process memory and writing an executable file.  This
prevents ASLR and PIE, doesn't work on all systems, and requires some
workarounds.  The dumper should serialize the internal data structures
in a portable format (e.g. FlatBuffer) instead.
