I have sent a build report for a version without --with-union-type but 
--with-bignum=gmp.  I also compiled using your settings without a 
problem.  So I did some experimenting including my current configure 
args one at a time with new builds.  What I discovered was that with 
all my configure args but one I could get a working XEmacs.  The one I 
cannot turn off (and enable-union-type and gmp) was 
--with-error-checking.

Here is the configuration for my current XEmacs.
./configure '--enable-mule' '--enable-widgets=athena' '--with-athena=3d' 
'--enable-dialogs=athena' '--enable-scrollbars=lucid' '--disable-debug' 
'--with-package-path=/Users/royar/usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages:/Users/royar/usr/local/lib/xemacs/mule-packages' 
'--prefix=/Users/royar/usr/local' '--with-prefix' '--with-png' 
'--with-jpeg' '--with-tiff' '--with-xmu' '--with-xim=no' 
'--enable-sound=esd' '--disable-xfs' '--enable-dump-in-exec' 
'--enable-modules' '--enable-external-widget' '--with-dynamic' 
'--disable-kkcc' '--disable-mc-alloc' '--with-union-type' 
'--enable-optimization' '--with-cflags-optimization=-Os -pipe -mcpu=970 -mtune=970 -mpim-altivec' 
'--with-site-runtime-libraries=/opt/local/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib' 
'--with-site-libraries=/opt/local/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib' 
'--with-xft=emacs,tabs,nogauges,nomenubars' '--enable-bignum=gmp' 
'CFLAGS=-Os -pipe -mcpu=970 -mtune=970 -mpim-altivec -mpowerpc-gpopt'

I currently disable them, but enabling them does not affect the 
compilation.

I just sent one of the compilation that had union-type disabled along 
with error-checking.
