*** Emacs gives the error, Couldn't find per display information.

This can result if the X server runs out of memory because Emacs uses
a large number of fonts.  On systems where this happens, C-h h is
likely to cause it.

This results from a bug in a VERY old version of GNU Sed.  To solve
the problem, install the current version of GNU Sed, then rerun
Emacs's configure script.

*** Building the MS-Windows port with Cygwin GCC can fail.

Emacs may not build using recent Cygwin builds of GCC, such as Cygwin
version 1.1.8, using the default configure settings.  It appears to be
necessary to specify the -mwin32 flag when compiling, and define
__MSVCRT__, like so:

5) If copying and killing is slow, try to disable the interaction with the
   native system's clipboard by adding these lines to your .emacs file:
     (setq interprogram-cut-function nil)
     (setq interprogram-paste-function nil)

*** Building the Cygwin port for MS-Windows can fail with some GCC version

Building Emacs 22 with Cygwin builds of GCC 3.4.4-1 and 3.4.4-2 is
reported to either fail or cause Emacs to segfault at run time.  In
addition, the Cygwin GCC 3.4.4-2 has problems with generating debug
info.  Cygwin users are advised not to use these versions of GCC for
compiling Emacs.  GCC versions 4.0.3 and 4.1.1 reportedly build a
working Cygwin binary of Emacs, so we recommend these GCC versions.

version 1.1.8, using the default configure settings.  It appears to be
