This appears to have been due to the (now infamous) glibc-2.14.90-13 release. Those logs indicate that XEmacs had gone totally mad. It's behavior makes no sense at all. A scratch build today against glibc-2.14.90-15 completed normally. There must have been some really interesting code motion going on. I see that the merge of the f17-gmp tag is underway. I'll wait until that is done and then kick off one more xemacs build. But I have a concern. Was *everything* in f17-gmp built against glibc-2.14.90-13? If so, I hate to say it, but you'd probably better build the whole set of packages yet again. There may be all kinds of weird behavior lurking in those builds.
