When you run configure, what options do you use? Here's what I use:
configure --prefix=/tools/local \
--site-prefixes=/tools/local \
--package-path=/tools/local/lib/xemacs/packages \
--cflags='-O3' \
--without-x11 \
--with-msw \
--with-dragndrop \
--with-xpm \
--debug=no \
--error-checking=none \
--pdump
