Fixes related to CANNOT_DUMP mode, and a floating-point bug fix. Handle --version reasonably in CANNOT_DUMP configuration. * src/emacs.c (emacs_version, emacs_copyright): New string variables. (Vemacs_version, Vemacs_copyright): New Lisp_Object variables. (syms_of_emacs): Defvar them, and initialize them from the C string variables. (main): If initialization hasn't been done, print initial version info from the C strings, instead of starting an interactive session. * lisp/version.el (emacs-copyright, emacs-version): Don't define here. * configure.in: Look for version string in its new place. * admin: Update scripts and text to refer to version number string in emacs.c instead of version.el. * src/emacs.c (main): Initialize initial-environment and process-environment before generating from env, not after. * src/lisp.h (XFLOAT_DATA): Use "0?x:x" to generate an rvalue. (bug#5916) (LISP_MAKE_RVALUE) [!USE_LISP_UNION_TYPE && !__GNUC__]: Likewise.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-p in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
