Trouble while compiling Xemacs

Vikas> I could not find an e-mail address to which to send a mail Vikas> to in case of a compile problem. So I am sending this to Vikas> you. No problem. FYI, you can use M-x report-emacs-bug (available from the Help menu, too) or send directly to xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org. I am cc'ing this message there, so you needn't resend. It looks to me like you may have a problem in your GCC installation, where certain compiler helper functions or macros (__builtin_va_alist) are not getting defined. Beyond that I can't say; I hope the Solaris users on xemacs-beta will be able to give further help.
