You could try with removing all elisp packages and files from your system
before building the XEmacs binary. XEmacs has a feature of changing the load
path that can interfere with the build process and cause strange errors. Maybe
this is one of these cases.

So if there are no other elisp files around, at lease in the standard places
where XEmacs looks for packages, this can't happen. If building this way work
then we are one step closer to solving your mystery!
