For example, +this error can occur on Solaris 10 when using the Sun Studio compiler +``Sun C 5.8'' with its preprocessor CPP="/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -E". +The relevant switch in this case is "-Xs" (``compile assuming +(pre-ANSI) K & R C style code''). + ** Compilation *** Building Emacs over NFS fails with ``Text file busy''.
