47 Certain machine types and operating systems have been deprecated. On
48 these systems, configure will print a warning and exit, and you must
49 edit the configure script for compilation to proceed. The deprecated
50 systems will not be supported at all in Emacs 23. We are not aware of
51 anyone running Emacs on these systems; if you are, please email
52 emacs-devel@gnu.org to take it off the list of deprecated systems.

177 compilation to proceed on such a system. If you are using such a
