This is a cvs tree, so it's frequently broken for "minority" platforms. The current sources as of yesterday, for example, were broken for darwin/osx (emacs/lib-src/getopt.c). When this happens you generally need to checkout an earlier version of the problematic file. > XEmacs: I got 21.4; both configure and make ran fine but gave me a > terminal-like emacs.

For xemacs as well as an X11 build of gnu emacs you should consider using fink's configuration instead of doing it manually. Likewise texinfo.
