Thanks for the report Sudish.

I'm still at 2.7.2 and curious, how good of a job does pgcc do with
XEmacs?

        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is with dl-malloc, right?  I wonder if it would make any sense to
try that in place of the current GNU malloc we have.  I have learned
to respect dl-malloc *a lot* since starting to use it.  The only point
of contention I recall about it being used as the malloc of choice for
glibc-2 was whether it was as fast as other mallocs when mmap wasn't
available.  There were those who said it was, there were those who
said it wasn't.

Sudish> Not sure, though.

Run a few benchmarks and see for sure?  :-)
