- If something like that will be added I'd prefer to have the unexec stuff from
- GNU emacs compiled in by default (if available for that machine).
-
- Are there machines that can undump, but not unexec? Or the other
- way around? Which set is bigger?
-
- For instance, HP PA-RISC can unexec but there isn't any
- undump available (to my knowledge).
