Yes, it might be. I think the problem could be that you byte compiled
the elisp file with Emacs; XEmacs and Emacs bytecode is incompatible.
If you look at the top of the imaxima.elc file you'll see something
like this
;;; Compiled by harder@defun.localdomain on Wed Apr 7 02:03:27 2004
;;; from file /home/harder/imaxima-0.8/elc.7443/imaxima.el
;;; in Emacs version 21.3.50.15
which tells which Emacs version was used. To force the configure
script to use XEmacs, you can do something like this:
EMACS=xemacs ./configure
