Thanks for the report, and thank you for localizing it this far! I
need to clean up some stuff before I can properly try to reproduce it
(tonight, I think), but the following information may help me.
They're all just clarifications, not intended to point to an actual
suspect.

This bug showed up yesterday with the 20061116 CVS. Compilation
occurs as normal, and temacs links. However, when temacs first
loads with the command ./temacs -nd -no-packages -batch -l
/Users/royar/src/xemacs/src/../lisp/update-elc.el it aborts after
loading startup.el saying that it cannot find the file listed in
preloaded-file-list immediately following startup.el.
The only recent change to startup.el is Malcolm's change to the
startup screen code. I suppose this could result in a change in
XEmacs's default-directory, but it's strange that it wouldn't affect
everybody.
When was the previous build (if you have that as your working XEmacs,
it should be available in M-X emacs-version and M-X describe-installation)?
Do you have an XEmacs installed in /Users/royar/usr/local already?
Does that directory already exist and have reasonable permissions?
Have you tried with any other explicit --prefix settings?
uname -a: Darwin
grendel.frinabulax.org 8.8.0
This is a Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" system, right?
Thanks!
Steve
