I tried configuring 21.5.28 on Solaris10/Intel with this command:

    LDFLAGS='-R/opt/app/nonc++/zlib-1.2/lib -L/opt/app/nonc++/zlib-1.2/lib \
    -R/opt/app/nonc++/libpng-1.2/lib -L/opt/app/nonc++/libpng-1.2/lib \
    -R/opt/app/nonc++/xpm-3.4k/lib -L/opt/app/nonc++/xpm-3.4k/lib' \
    CPPFLAGS='-I/opt/app/nonc++/zlib-1.2/include \
    -I/opt/app/nonc++/libpng-1.2/include -I/opt/app/nonc++/xpm-3.4k/include' \
    ./configure --prefix=/opt/app/xemacs-21.5.28 --with-optimization \
    --with-error-checking=none 

and get this error:

./configure: Usage error:
  Invalid type list supplied.  Valid types for the --with-error-checking
  option are:
        byte_code display extents gc glyphs malloc structures text types.
  A prefix of "no" (eg, "notype" for "type") turns a type off.
  Types not explicitly specified or negated take their defaults.
  The list of defaults is
  "byte_code,display,extents,gc,glyphs,malloc,structures,text,types".
  Prefixing `all' or
  `none' to the list sets all defaults to on and off respectively.
  `yes' as the sole argument is equivalent to omitting the argument.
  Use `./configure --help' to show usage.

Using --help doesn't mention "none" or "all" either.

I worked around it with this setting:

    --with-error-checking=nobyte_code,nodisplay,noextents,nogc,noglyphs,nomalloc,nostructures,notext,notypes
