Maybe on Muck OS.  On GNU/Linux, I can reproduce it always on several
hosts.  With CVS 2008-10-03 19:00 UTC:

Loading bindings (source)...
Loading files...
Loading cus-face...
Loading faces...
Loading /home/yavor/src/emacs/lisp/minibuffer.el (source)...
Fatal error (11)make[2]: *** [compile-onefile] Ошибка сегментирования

It happens on random files.

I build it this way:

./configure --with-x=no
make bootstrap
./configure --with-ns
make
make install

But it is only usable with `Emacs -nw'.

No.

I see.  This is a practical problem, as my Pentium II was building
Emacs for about a day until the failure.  Even on a powerful machine,
it takes hours.
