I wonder if you are triggering a similar bug to the icc bug that bit me.
Let's see. I am attaching the test case I sent Intel a couple of years
ago. You'll have to edit the Makefile a bit, but try it out and see if
the test program reports that you are getting bignum results. You
shouldn't be.
I mistyped in my last reply. I did NOT see "a bignum" in the output,
and I 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.
