I have a patch pending, > but I don't know if it's TheRaightThang[tm]. actually, i've been spending the last few hours trying to do this right -- and of course discovering lots of other really cruddy startup code that needs cleaning. anyway, there is more than one possible path to take. the one i'm taking is to disable entirely all recognition of packages when compiling xemacs. this requires another command-line flag -- no-autoloads isn't enough because the shadowing file still sits on the load path. i think this is the right thing -- xemacs should be able to compile without packages and have the packages added later. compiling without packages ensures that nothing specific to the compiler's package environment gets stuck somewhere in the compiled xemacs, thence to cause problems with different packages. my only concern is people adding other stuff to dump, which is dependent on packages. is this a real concern that i should worry about?
