I also had difficulties compiling xlisp on my UNIX system
(a NeXTstation, whose C compiler is derived from gcc).
The program would compile, but it would dump core every
time I tried to evaluate an expression.

In my case, the workaround was to change two lines in the
function read_keybd in unixstuf.c :

changed   cher buf[1]   to char buf[100]
changed   sizeof(buf)   to sizeof(char)

It works for me...
