I'm traveling so am not able to do a proper analysis, but a quick
comment: I rather doubt that --with-xft and --with-XXX=gtk are
compatible, and NO effort will be made to make them so because
--with-gtk still uses GTK+ v1; the only work we're going to do on GTK,
except if it's *really* trivial, is to port to GTK+ v2.

Also, CVS is no longer actively used in development of the mainline.
Use the Mercurial repository for 21.5 (see
http://www.xemacs.org/Develop/hgaccess.html).

For XEmacs 21.4 and the package sources, the CVS repositories are
still the official sources.
