Fixed for 21.5 with https://bitbucket.org/xemacs/xemacs/commits/72c0d63 . Still an issue for 21.4.

It is not only finding X11/Intrinsic.h that fails. It is only the first header in line after _BSD_SOURCE and _SVID_SOURCE has been added to confdefs.h. So the problem lies in the general way header files are detected. A workaround is then to silence cpp when it comes to #warnings. This can be achieved by running configure with --cpp-flags=-Wno-cpp.

The configure step to find X11/Intrincis.h breaks due to #warning messages produced by glibc. From version 2.20 of glibc.
