I suggest you to swap to X11R5 first. ( Or even to X11R6, when it comes
on april 15. on next year :).

I write Xaw.h to common use, "include all Xaw", header. Those failing 
header aren`t needed in this case. So you can comment they out.

But you maybe have next trouble with XtGetGC ( X11R5 stuff, yes we
haven't tested this with X11R4, because we have not it installed
anymore ( there should be X-release checking in Imakefile ) ).

If you mean to use xview, no. CrossEdit is written to use X-toolkit
and Athena Widget Set. To make it multiple look&feel program, ie.
OLIT ( Open Look - widget set ), Motif ( OSF - widget set ) and Athena
widget set ( And even one more, maybe Xo - widget set ), is too heavy
programming, althought maybe be challenging.
