As you noticed, a small patch is required in the config script.   If 
you download any recent .src.rpm for xemacs prepared by a ppc linux 
vendor, the patch will be included.  Then just

    rpm --rebuild ...

I have such a .src.rpm for 21.4.8, if you can't find one elsewhere.  
For that matter I also have .ppc.rpm's.  But I don't have a server to 
upload to...


I _always_ use rpms when possible, rather than building directly from 
tars and installing in /usr/local.  Packaged software is much easier to 
deal with, and rpms are usually easy to find.
