I'm getting a make error on master, with the message:-

make[2]: Entering directory '/home/redknight/git/emacs/lisp'
  ELC      ../lisp/files.elc
Directory-local variables error: (invalid-read-syntax #)

I'm on 3.16.0-6-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.16.56-1+deb8u1 (2018-05-08)
i686 GNU/Linux.

Best wishes,
Colin.

I had the same thing, but it went away after I did a `make 
maintainer-clean'. `make distclean' didn't help, IIRC.

Read the Makefile commentary for details on the varying levels
of "make clean*" you can perform before calling "make".

Whichever level you're currently cleaning to, you probably need
to clean more than that.

IIRC, and FWIW, I got a similar error a while ago after creating a
top-level .dir-locals-2.el file.

Great, `make maintainer-clean' did it. Thank you. As you said, `make
distclean' is insufficient.

Best wishes,
Colin.
