OK, victory at last.  It _is_ a rebase problem, but not with xemacs as
such, rather GTK.  The clue was that 2.4.15 _did_ rebuild OK when all
I did was 'make clean && make', so I looked at the differences between
the two src directories with a microscope, and noticed that 2.4.16 was
using libtiff3.dll and jpeg62.dll from GTK and (because I had built it
before I installed GTK) 2.4.15 was not.

Now I had rebased those two by hand (because for reasons I can't now
figure out rebaseall didn't do them -- pbly because I installed GTK
'by hand' as it were, not via the package mechanism), but I had _not_
checked _their_ dependencies, and sure enough:

  1) libtiff3 uses GTK's zlib1.dll
  2) rebasing zlib1.dll solves the problem.

Phew!

So let's hope this thread will help anyone with the same problem. 

Thanks again for patient suggestions which eventually led to the
solution.
