Yeah... even recently it still pretty much seems to do that though (last time for me was a week or two ago). One issue I 've noticed, though: somebody changed the lisp Makefile to rebuild autoloads before everything else, even when bootstrapping, if there is an existing (pre-bootstrap) emacs executable in src/emacs. This often doesn't work correctly (it barfs building the autoloads), so you might have to do "rm src/emacs" before doing make bootstrap. -Miles -- Come now, if we were really planning to harm you, would we be waiting here, beside the path, in the very darkest part of the forest?
