I mistyped in my last reply. I did NOT see "a bignum" in

should NOT have. So it looks like the problem is something to do with my
--enable-union-type setting. On the G5, if I remove that, I get a working
bignum-enabled XEmacs. I haven't tried again on my G4, but the compilation I
tried last summer (gcc4.00) failed with any configuration using bignum. The
G5 uses gcc4.01, which warns infewer places and fails less often than did
gcc4.00.
Yes, the union type setting seems to be quite good at triggering
compiler bugs. Can I take it then that we have resolved the issue, at
least as far as your G5 is concerned? Is there any possibility of
upgrading the compiler on the G4?
