Just another point: The current egcs (egcs-2.91.52 19980727) still
miscompiles XEmacs - but I've found another workaround (instead of
-fno-inline): Not using the union type (you can pass --use-union-type
to XEmacs to use a union as basic lisp object instead of some bit
manipulations).  It might be that the access of the union elements is
somehow broken.

If you need details, please mail me directly.  I don't know how to
localize the bug.
