Re: emacs-25.3 aborted

[Adonay Felipe Nogueira]

There is a related item in help-guix ([1]), and there was an attempt made
by me to get a backtrace and a strace --- although I still have to find
out how to install debug symbols for GNU Emacs.

As I replied there ([2]), it might be due to a change between
2017-10-10T08:25 BRT and 2017-10-30T16:27 BRST --- either in a Guix
package definition or in the upstreams.

I assume all packages are suspects, but I see that it might be an issue
related to GTK+, or some related component that is present at build
time.

One could list commits from these dates by doing:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
git log --after="2017-10-10T08:25 BRT" --before="2017-10-30T16:27 BRST"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Now we must test by making local copies of the possibly affected package
definitions, reverting the commits, and building our Emacs locally.

I'll also post a message similar to this in the thread referenced in
[1].
