I just tried to build XEmacs 20.0 and got flooded by a load of
compiler warnings and errors. Has somebody succeded to compile for
that target? One reason might be that cpp is losing, as I also get
parse errors, but also configure does not seem to guess system
characteristics correctly, f.i. it does not define HAVE_TIMEVAL
although it is present. All in all it smells like my system is broken,
but I am able to compile XEmacs 19.14 with no problems (haven't tried
a 19.15 beta yet).

Is there a rule of thumb that says which versions of gcc, libc and so
on are necessary for an easy and clean build?

Any suggestions?
