 * Building Emacs over NFS fails with ``Text file busy''.
 
 This was reported to happen when building Emacs on RedHat GNU/Linux

-but it might not be limited to that configuration alone.  Presumably,
-the NFS server doesn't commit the files' data to disk quickly enough,

-commands which invoke the dumped Emacs excutable to fail with the
-above message.
