I retried compiling with SunOS cc:

./configure --use-union-type --compiler=cc --cflags=-O
...

./src/xemacs -nw

And now, whatever I type, I get the error in the minibuffer:

 Wrong type argument: "unable to bind this type of event", #<DEALLOCATED-EVENT>

C-g, C-x C-c,... nothing works.

When I build without optimization, things seem to work.  I haven't
tested much.

My conclusion: XEmacs is seriously broken on sparc/Solaris when
compiling with union type.  There is obviously an ugly bug unearthed
with using union types that I am unable to trace, which manifests in a 
number of ways.
