System type, version: (RT) Version 6.4A
System name: SOUP
What's wrong:
etags and ctags still seem to be broken on the RT.
I recall that this was a big issue before and seems to have been
forgotten.
What should have happened:
Software should work.
It turns out that a compiler bug was the cause of this. It has been
noted that compiling with both -g and -O with hc2.1 sometimes leads to
bad code generation or the compiler dying during the compilation stage.
Luckily, everything else on the system has been compiled with only one
of these two options (the Makefile for attach was changed before the
final compile).
In any case, everything in /usr/athena/lib/gnuemacs/etc on the RT has
been rebuilt and re-installed.
