My hope was to use zile given that Emacs is segfaulting. The good news is that zile builds. The bad news is that zile also segfaults. According to gdb, the crash is somewhere in GC_realloc. So it's maybe not zile's fault, but instead libgc's fault.

Given that this won't run, there's obviously limited value in merging. But building it wasn't /quite/ trivial, so there is arguably some value.

That's exactly what disabled-packages are for, to be a starting point for future work, so that someone who wants to build the package does not have to start from scratch!

The information about the current problem (According to gdb, the crash is somewhere in GC_realloc. So it's maybe not zile's fault, but instead libgc's fault) is good to have available somewhere, probably at the top of build.sh as a comment - I'm adding it in a separate commit!

Nice work!

My pleasure. Maybe one day I'll get round to debugging this...
