Not in XEmacs 21. XEmacs 20 does need additional work.
As far as I can tell the problem is not in the fsf-compat package but
in the underlying itimer.el, or in the built-in code called by that.
I have only done a cursory analysis as it is tricky debugging stuff
that is both real-time and across the Lisp/C boundary.
There was some activity on the xemacs-beta mailing list. itimer.el is
being overhauled; it is probably worth waiting to see if a new version
of that fixes our problems. In the interim I am running an older
version of rcp.el.
