I've installed a fix in CVS. Unfortunately, the discussion leading to
it has been lost since Bernt chose to reply to me in private and I did
not notice he had taken the discussion off-list.
I would expect most systems to be affected where the path conventions
of the compiling and the running systems are different (in which case
the now removed option --with-kpathseasep will probably use a wrong
default for the runtime system). In particular, this would seem to
affect XEmacs systems on Windows using the prebuilt package. I have
no idea why we have not received problem reports about this earlier.
The changes are non-trivial, and unfortunately non-trivial to test
out: people compiling and running on the same side of the Unix/Linux
fence will likely not have seen the effect.
Maybe we should provide a prerelease of an XEmacs package to test for
people: this would seem like the most important use case.
