 This file describes various problems that have been encountered
 in compiling, installing and running GNU Emacs.
 
-* Emacs dumps core on Solaris in function IMCheckWindow.
-
-This was reported to happen when Emacs runs with more than one frame,
-and one of them is closed, either with "C-x 5 0" or from the window
-manager.
-
-This bug was reported to Sun as
-
-    Gtk apps dump core in ximlocal.so.2:IMCheckIMWindow()
-    Bug Reports: 4463537
-
-Installing Solaris 8 patch 108773-12 for Sparc and 108874-12 for x86
-reportedly fixes the bug, which appears to be inside the shared
-library xiiimp.so.
-
-Alternatively, you can configure Emacs with `--with-xim=no' to prevent
-the core dump, but will loose X input method support, of course.  (You
-can use Emacs's own input methods instead, if you install Leim.)
-
-* Building Emacs with GCC 2.9x fails in the `src' directory.
-
-This may happen if you use a development version of GNU `cpp' from one
-of the GCC snapshots between Oct 2000 and Feb 2001, or from a released
-version of GCC newer than 2.95.2 which was prepared around those
-dates.  The preprocessor in those versions expands ".." into ". .",
-which breaks relative file names that reference the parent directory.
-
-The solution is to make sure the preprocessor is run with the
-`-traditional' option.  (The `configure' script does that
-automatically.)
-
-Note that this problem does not pertain to the MS-Windows port of
-Emacs, since it doesn't use the preprocessor to generate Makefiles.
-
 * Building the MS-Windows port with Cygwin GCC can fail.

 the same version of GCC, and telling us whether that fixes the problem.
