Mean while, I think we have solved it to some extent in Gentoo by
setting EMACSLOADPATH during the compile phase and removed the
compression of the el-files. It is still not perfect but might work in
practice.
If Mike doesn't followup, you should ping him directly -- he designed
the current path-tracing mechanism. My feeling is that, unless you've
got some very special needs where you need to support multiple
architectures from one set of Lisp files or something like that, the
"right" solution is to configure --without-prefix.
The point is that this option removes the setting of $prefix from the
binary, and all paths are discovered relative to the binary. You may
need to reconfigure other paths to match the positions relative to the
binary if Gentoo doesn't use the ones expected by XEmacs (in
particular, Gentoo probably puts Lisp in /usr/share where XEmacs 21.4
expects /usr/lib).
