This error message comes from the 'emacs' program.

Your options are:
  - Remove 'emacs' from your disk and rebuild gettext.
  - Set the EMACS environment variable to 'no' and rebuild gettext.
  - Search the web for "malloc_jumpstart" to find how to fix your Emacs.
  - Use "make -k" and "make -k install" to ignore the error.
