Several people have reported problems like this, although they weren't
claiming to be defining XPM...

So, what I'm guessing that you are setting FvwmCompiler and
FvwmCompilerFlags, correct? If so, it's probably my screwup w/
FvwmCompilerFlags that is causing problems here.

Change this in Fvwm.tmpl:


#ifdef FvwmCompilerFlags
        CFLAGS = FvwmCompilerFlags
#endif

which may be causing -Ddefines to be lost, to:

#ifdef FvwmCompilerFlags
        CDEBUGFLAGS = FvwmCompilerFlags
#endif

then remake the makefiles & rebuild and see if that works better.
