I don't think so, but it could be.

There is both a new tulip.c (v0.91g-ppc) and an old_tulip.c (v0.89H)
available now; simply say NO to de4x5 and tulip and you'll be asked about
"old_tulip".

In addition, there were some changes to tulip.c between pre12 and pre16; if
you had it working with pre12, perhaps you could try backing them out and
rebuild?

Good luck.
