If you want to debug uncompiled sources, then I think that you could
remove all the .elc files and run "make runtemacs" or perhaps "make
run-temacs" in the src directory.  If you are building with the
"portable" dumper then I think "./xemacs -nd -l ../lisp/loadup.el"
will do the trick, but you can go out for dinner while it's loading
up, and XEmacs will be as slow as you can imagine for most operations.

However I suspect it will be more effective and less painful to just
post the error and the Lisp backtrace here (and if it crashed, which I
don't think it should do at that point, the C backtrace) here.
