Yes I saw those, but they're all in the unix-process handling code,
which isn't even reached.
Sure.  But the interesting part is that after doing
       debuild -b
(after removing the targets for anything other than xemacs21-bin and
xemacs21-nomule) there are two files in src:  xemacs and
xemacs-21.4.8-nomule.

If I build on Itanium2, the latter runs correctly; the former does
not, and neither work on Itanium1.

If I build `natively' (by typing ./configure; make; make install;)
rather than using debuild)  I get something that works on Itanium1 and
Itanium2.

So what's going on?
