[ cc'd to ports (re: ports/34661).  The problem here is that "gcl", in
  ports/lang, is not building due to a core dump.  This "patch" might
  fix it.  ]

     Well, the problem appears to be that undump() isn't properly
adjusting the ELF section headers.  The bug also seems to exist in
XEmacs (and probably GNU Emacs as well), but it's only triggered if a
small section (less than 32 bytes in size) exists before the BSS
section.  Hacky, ugly, not-for-public-consumption kludgy patch attached.
Apply in the "o" subdirectory.  Line numbers will be off, but the patch
should apply fine otherwise.  Due to non-functioning makefile
dependencies, you'll have to manually delete "o/unixsave.o" (or do a
"make clean") after applying this patch.

     I'm not sure if the patch is 100% correct, but it should be close.

     I probably won't have any more time to clean up the patch (e.g.,
eliminate the code duplication and debugging code), and so it would be
nice if someone else could do that and submit it.
