The problem is egcs-1.1. I rebuilt with egcs-1.0.2 (as it comes

RH5.1) and it's working fine.
Wonderful. This isn't the first report of XEmacs getting axe-murdered
by this compiler.
We probably need to add a warning about egcs-1.1 somewhere in
PROBLEMS. I haven't had any XEmacs-related problems with it, though I
have now encountered a number of other programs that it chokes on.

Why wait for XEmacs to crash? We should make configure flat out
refuse to build XEmacs using egcs-1.1. After seeing people
report the gcc-2.7 -fcaller-saves induced crash over and over
again, I think we should refuse to build using broken compilers
unless we have a fix in place. For the aforementioned crash,
compiling with -fno-caller-saves is a fix. Is there a fix for
the egcs-1.1 crashes?

I have built XEmacs successfully with all released versions of egcs.
egcs-1.1 has an internal error with some configurations, but
egcs-1.1.1 doesn't seem to.
My `production' XEmacs is built with pgcc-egcs-1.1.1 and works fine.
That said, egcs-1.0.3 seems to have been the most stable egcs
recently.

Err, don't do this - its the only compiler readily available under cygwin b20
