ah, okay, it seems that whereas Emacs has font-lock-builtin-face
XEmacs has instead the preprocessor version; XEmacs has the lines:

;; #### FSF has font-lock-builtin-face.

(defface font-lock-preprocessor-face
  '((((class color) (background dark)) (:foreground "steelblue1"))
    (((class color) (background light)) (:foreground "blue3"))
    (t (:underline t)))
  "Font Lock Mode face used to highlight preprocessor conditionals."
  :group 'font-lock-faces)


If this is all that's causing the warnings under XEmacs, it is easy to
fix for both versions by just having a little check along the lines
of:

(cons ...
(if (boundp 'font-lock-builtin-face)
    'font-lock-builtin-face
  'font-lock-preprocessor-face) )

I'll test that later under both XEmacs and Emacs; if that works okay
under both, I'll update the Emacs files at gnu.org and send John the
patch.
