Some more info on this...

So I grabbed unexalpha.c and changed the relevant bit of code to say

/*   WRITE (new, (char *)DATA_START, nhdr.aout.dsize, */
/*       "writing data section to %s", new_name); */

  {
    int ret = write (new, (char *)DATA_START, nhdr.aout.dsize);
    fprintf(stderr, "write returned %d instead of %d (errno %d)\n",ret,nhdr.aout.dsize, errno);
    if (ret != nhdr.aout.dsize)
      fatal_unexec ("writing data section to %s", new_name);
  }

The message I get is

write returned 1785856 instead of 3710976 (errno 2)
unexec: No such file or directory, writing data section to /net/users/ajc/build/xemacs-20.1-b15/src/xemacs.  

*shrug*

There's plenty of diskspace left, so that's not it...

More info as it comes to hand, I guess.

Andrew.
