Bug#2471: aXe core dumps straight away

Neither nor. From the aXe source:
Unlike most other applications that use the Athena Widgets aXe cannot
simply be relinked using an Xaw3d libray in place of the Xaw library
to obtain an Xaw3d version. Because aXe subclasses some of the Xaw
widgets it is necessary to take account of the extra information that
Xaw3d introduces into the widget structures, i.e. the derived widgets
have to be compiled differently to achieve Xaw3d compatability.

I'm sorry. I didn't know about this package. I thought I had a full X11
installation. I will try to recompile aXe with xaw3d support. However, I'm
not used to these things. Maybe one of you guys could take over aXe?

I wonder whether it works to compile aXe with Xaw3d but run it without.
