I don't know if any of what I'm about to mention will fix your
problems, but I'd like to point out a couple of things that I hope you
are already aware of...
o When building Gnus you should always do so via `make'. By just
byte-recompiling the lisp directory you will, amongst other
things, be missing out on re-building the autoloads (which could
have changed since your last build).
o A Gnus built with GNU/Emacs _*CAN NOT*_ be used in XEmacs and vice
verse. The two Emacsen generate different incompatible
byte-code. [1]
o If there are things in contrib/ that you want, symlink, copy, or
move them into the lisp/ directory prior to running `make'.
Footnotes:
[1] If you run both GNU/Emacs and XEmacs their respective load-path's
shouldn't overlap. Or if you do have directories common to both
Emacsen's load-path, those directories shouldn't contain any
byte-compiled lisp. It's just not worth the trouble.
