Maurício, in order to bootstrap Mailutils from Git you need to
have a set of certain tools. In particular, GNU bison is required.
The .y grammars Mailutils uses will not compile with usual
Berkeley yacc.

Please, refer to the file README-hacking for the complete list of
utilities needed and make sure you have them installed before trying
to bootstrap the sources.

As you wish.

The gdb traces may reveal lots of potentially security-sensitive
information, including passwords. Make sure these are not visible
before you send traces to the list.

Also, before trying to use gdb, make sure Mailutils is compiled with
debugging information. This is achieved by using --enable-debug
option to configure.

Sergey
