Thanks for fixing this. The XEmacs on the Buildbot is indeed build with
default specs, i.e., without Mule.

No, it fails before with

While compiling gnus-parse-complex-format in file /var/lib/buildbot/slaves/debian/build-xemacs21.4/build/lisp/gnus-spec.el:
  !! error (("reference to free variable 00AB"))

XEmacs 21.4 behaves strangely with the Buildbot. If there is an error,
it stalls at the end until the Buildbot kills the process; yenc.el is
simply the last file that is compiled. It works fine on the command
line, so I've no idea why it does not work when called from the
Buildbot.
