libungif-4.1.0 are resolved by using version libungif-4.1.0b1.
Configure checks for the correct version, but this problem could occur
if a binary built against a shared libungif is run on a system with an

+*** Link-time optimization with clang doesn't work on Fedora 20.
+
+As of May 2014, Fedora 20 has broken LLVMgold.so plugin support in clang
+(tested with clang-3.4-6.fc20) - `clang --print-file-name=LLVMgold.so'
+prints `LLVMgold.so' instead of full path to plugin shared library, and
+`clang -flto' is unable to find the plugin with the following error:
+
+/bin/ld: error: /usr/bin/../lib/LLVMgold.so: could not load plugin library:
+/usr/bin/../lib/LLVMgold.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file
+or directory
+
+The only way to avoid this is to build your own clang from source code
+repositories, as described at http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html.

When you start Emacs you may see something like this:

This happens if the Emacs binary has been renamed. The cause is the Ubuntu

+** Emacs refuses to start on Windows 9X because ctime64 function is missing
+
+This is a sign that Emacs was compiled with MinGW runtime version
+4.0.x or later. These versions of runtime call in their startup code
+the ctime64 function, which does not exist in MSVCRT.DLL, the C
+runtime shared library, distributed with Windows 9X.
+
+A workaround is to build Emacs with MinGW runtime 3.x (the latest
+version is 3.20).

** A few seconds delay is seen at startup and for many file operations
This happens when the Net Logon service is enabled. During Emacs

+** File selection dialog opens in incorrect directories
+
+Invoking the file selection dialog on Windows 7 or later shows a
+directory that is different from what was passed to `read-file-name'
+or `x-file-dialog' via their arguments.
+
+This is due to a deliberate change in behavior of the file selection
+dialogs introduced in Windows 7. It is explicitly described in the
+MSDN documentation of the GetOpenFileName API used by Emacs to pop up
+the file selection dialog. For the details, see
+
+ http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms646839%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
+
+The dialog shows the last directory in which the user selected a file
+in a previous invocation of the dialog with the same initial
+directory.
+
+You can reset this "memory" of that directory by invoking the file
+selection dialog with a different initial directory.

** PATH can contain unexpanded environment variables
Old releases of TCC (version 9) and 4NT (up to version 8) do not correctly
non-US timezones. This is due to over-simplistic handling of
daylight savings switchovers by the Windows libraries.

-** Installation
-
-*** On Solaris, use GNU Make when installing an out-of-tree build
-
-The Emacs configuration process allows you to configure the
-build environment so that you can build emacs in a directory
-outside of the distribution tree. When installing Emacs from an
-out-of-tree build directory on Solaris, you may need to use GNU
-make. The make programs bundled with Solaris support the VPATH
-macro but use it differently from the way the VPATH macro is
-used by GNU make. The differences will cause the "make install"
-step to fail, leaving you with an incomplete emacs
-installation. GNU make is available in /usr/sfw/bin on Solaris
-10 and can be installed as /opt/sfw/bin/gmake from the Solaris 9
-Software Companion CDROM.
-
-The problems due to the VPATH processing differences affect only
-out of tree builds so, if you are on a Solaris installation
-without GNU make, you can install Emacs completely by installing
-from a build environment using the original emacs distribution tree.

device names such as /dev/null in the DJGPP runtime library. A
work-around is to rename the problem directory to another name.
-*** MS-DOS+DJGPP: Problems on MS-DOS if DJGPP v2.0 is used to compile Emacs.
-
-There are two DJGPP library bugs which cause problems:
-
- * Running `shell-command' (or `compile', or `grep') you get
- `Searching for program: permission denied (EACCES), c:/command.com';
- * After you shell to DOS, Ctrl-Break kills Emacs.
-
-To work around these bugs, you can use two files in the msdos
-subdirectory: `is_exec.c' and `sigaction.c'. Compile them and link
-them into the Emacs executable `temacs'; then they will replace the
-incorrect library functions.
-
*** MS-DOS: Emacs compiled for MSDOS cannot find some Lisp files, or other
run-time support files, when long filename support is enabled.
