Yes, Emacs-CVS builds fine. Thanks. BTW, also tried with emacs-21.4. I
took the file `src/m/amdx86-64.h' form Emacs-CVS and added the
`x86_64-*-linux-gnu' case to configure. Then I was able to build
emacs-21.4, with just one glitch: the Makfile tried to build alloca.o
from assembly source which failed. After providing "empty" alloca.o to
build finished OK.

I want to install cursor patch that you have posted:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2005-10/msg00886.html

I works fine for me.
