you'll almost certainly need to rebuild emacs21 (and probably
emacsen-common, to be safe).
Why? Is there a binary incompatibility we should be aware of?
Also, if you specifically set 'exec-path', after rebuilding you'll need to adjust it to use
/sw/lib/emacs/21.3.50/powerpc-apple-darwin7.4.0
Some other programs have similar kernel-versioned directories (probably g77 and other compilers? not sure what else). Oops.
Why oops? This shouldn't pose any problem and hasn't in the past. These path names are not recomputed on the fly during runtime, they are hard-coded in the package's executables and scripts. I have been using an xemacs that has a "powerpc-apple-darwin7.0.0" directory for a very long time without problem.
It contradicts, of course, the principle that Fink packages should build the same no matter where or when, but this principle has always been more a pious wish than reality.
