You don't say which version of GNU emacs you are trying to port.
I've had 18.44 up for some time with no problems.  I had the same problems
you are seeing with 18.42.  There is a bug in the optimizer for the compiler
which botched the fns.c file.  Compiling it without optimization eliminated
the problem.  fns.c appears to be reorganized since then and doesn't aggravate
the problem.  If you are running a later version, you shouldn't have the
problem.
