Re: Got my name in the list

[Compro P. <com...@gm...>]

MT builds successful only with --enable-portability but running clisp
binary segfaults. Presently debugging the binary to go through the code and
find where is the problem. Do suggest me if there is a better way to debug
as I am using gdb using multiple windows in Emacs and some variables are
optimized out so its a bit hard to look into it. Still don't know how to
look into optimized variables.
