This only happens when -fno-common is used, so nobody has seen this yet.
But no-common may be default on some platforms so we should not rely on it.

Fix checked in.

Jan,

GNU Emacs compiles now, but it seems to have a problem with <down- 
mouse-2>... Usually it would insert text from a previous copy. This  
fails. When I use the paste entry from the Edit menu, which is bound  
to C-y, it inserts a text from the Mac OS X pasteboard, not from the X  
(PRIMARY) selection. When I switch from the X client GNU Emacs to a  
native Aqua/Mac OS X application, the old X selection is now available  
on <down-mouse-2>...

The way to select a word is double-click or <double-down-mouse-1>. The  
failure happens in this version:

In GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin9.8.0, X toolkit, Xaw3d  
scroll bars)
 of 2010-08-16 on Latsche.local

while this older version works fine (instant paste of what I selected  
before):

In GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin9.8.0, X toolkit, Xaw3d

share/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/X11/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/X11/ 
share/pkgconfig''

Could be it has to do with the setting of PKG_CONFIG_PATH, which I  
used to be able to (almost) decide which libraries (those from Fink or  
those from MacPorts) will be used. (There are problems with viewing  
graphics images.) I'll try to reconfigure and to recompile the same way!


Complete lossage record when I enter the *scratch* buffer by clicking  
into it, inserting ä to have a mark of start, then double clicking a  
world, positioning the cursor in the empty region right of ä, pressing  
<mouse-2> to insert the selection (nothing happens), and finally  
inserting an ö to have a mark of the end in the lossage record. Then  
typing C-h l. (In *scratch* buffer I only see äö.)

<down-mouse-1> <mouse-1> ä <down-mouse-1> <mouse-1>
<double-down-mouse-1> <double-mouse-1> <down-mouse-1>
<mouse-1> <down-mouse-2> <mouse-2> ö C-h l


It seems that now something is missing to synchronise X11 and Mac OS X  
pasteboard. This happens when I switch from X11 to Mac OS X and back  
again. In X11 the selection in the new GNU Emacs is instantly  
available, it also works to select a word in old Emacs and insert it  
in new one. In old Emacs the selection is instantly available for  
pasting by <down-mouse-2>.

AFAIK, that is now how it is supposed to work.  Mouse-2 inserts from PRIMARY 
and C-y from clipboard.  I assume X maps clipboard to pasteboard.  See threads 
in emacs-devel about this.

With PKG_CONFIG_PATH set right this has vanished. (The JPEG failure  
still exists:

Error reading JPEG image `(image :type jpeg :file ..../pic.jpg)': JPEG  
parameter struct mismatch: library thinks size is 484, caller expects  
488 [155 times]

I'll try the NS variant next, than with MacPorts libraries. Elder  
Emacs can display.)

Yes, the X server performs this service, after it has been enabled and  
configured. It works well in the three or four weeks old GNU Emacs  
24.0.50 (and elder versions like 23.2 or 22.3), but *has failed* in  
the up-to-date build – probably by some library mismatch, proved by  
next build.
