Not sure if this is causing your particular segfault, but make sure
you add -DCANNOT_DUMP to C/CPPFLAGS (see nextstep/compile).  And
GNUSTEP _should_ be being defined if you use the compile script.
(But probably in the long run GNUSTEP / COCOA should be defined in
the appropriate place in configure.in as you say.)

Yes, -DCANNOT_DUMP solves the segfault problem, I can now "make
install" : ) I did not use the nextstep/compile script, but performed
its tasks one by one manually.

But when I cd into nextstep/build/Emacs.app and run "./Emacs -q", I met these error messages:

ns_init_paths: '/home/sun/sandbox/emacs-23.0.0_NS-9.0pre1/nextstep/build/Emacs.app'

./Emacs: Uncaught exception NSInternalInconsistencyException, reason:

It seems there's something wrong with my GNUStep env, maybe the
"backend" part.  I'm new to GNUStep, what's that mean? and what
should I do?
