You almost certainly can compile them
You probably will not run into problems using the resulting binary,
  but 'people that know' tell me that misterious, hidden problems 
  will/may appear somewhere, due to the mixing.
You shouldn't use programmes that use xforms anyway, as it's non-free
  software. This means a lot less freedom to you (you cannot recompile
  xforms for libc6, for example).
