I tried that and it didn't crash.

 Ok, I spoke too quickly.  I tried again, and the core dumps happens
 without reference to any package.  It actually happens whenever I put
 the mouse over the toolbar (but nowhere else). 
I see.

...
 Here is exactly what I did. 
...
 1. tar -xzf xemacs-21.0.60.tar.gz
 2. tar -xzf xemacs-21.0.60-elc.tar.gz
 3. ./configure 
Excellent.  This is a sequence that should be tested.

...
 4. cd src
 5. ./xemacs -vanilla 
...
 then the first time the mouse hits the toolbar, it cores and I get
the
 following lisp backtrace. 
 ...
...
 Fatal error: assertion failed, file window.h, line 245, RECORD_TYPEP
(_obj, lrecord_window) || MARKED_RECORD_P (_obj) 
That looks awfully familiar.  What version of gcc are you using?  If
you do `./configure --cflags="-O3 -fno-caller-saves"', does that cure
the crash?

 ...
...
   What operating system and machine description files should XEmacs
use?
         `s/freebsd.h' and `m/intel386.h'
   What compiler should XEmacs be built with?              gcc -g -O3 -Wall -Wno-switch
