+** Emacs crashes on startup after a glibc upgrade.
+
+This is caused by a binary incompatible change to the malloc
+implementation in glibc 2.5.90-22.  As a result, Emacs binaries built
+using prior versions of glibc crash when run under 2.5.90-22.
+
+This problem was first seen in pre-release versions of Fedora 7, and
+may be fixed in the final Fedora 7 release.  To stop the crash from
+happening, first try upgrading to the newest version of glibc; if this
+does not work, rebuild Emacs with the same version of glibc that you
+will run it under.  For details, see

+*** OpenBSD 4.0 macppc: Segfault during dumping.
+
+The build aborts with signal 11 when the command `./temacs --batch
+--load loadup bootstrap' tries to load files.el.  A workaround seems
+to be to reduce the level of compiler optimization used during the
+build (from -O2 to -O1).  It is possible this is an OpenBSD
+GCC problem specific to the macppc architecture, possibly only
+occurring with older versions of GCC (e.g. 3.3.5).

+*** Installing to a directory with non-ASCII characters in the name fails.
+
+Installation may fail, or the Emacs executable may not start
+correctly, if a directory name containing non-ASCII characters is used
+as a `configure' argument (e.g. `--prefix').  The problem can also
+occur if a non-ASCII directory is specified in the EMACSLOADPATH
+envvar.
