Actually, I had tried that and a few other things.

But indeed the problem was that I was building Emacs from a shell

console within an older version of Emacs. I rarely rebuild Emacs (but

now I need the newest version as the latest ses.el uses function

format-prompt that was not on my older version of Emacs). So, not

rebuilding often, I had forgotten that it does not work form an Emacs

console, but it came to my mind that I had already come accross this

issue quite a while ago. FYI, what fails is the emacs dump step.

Maybe this limitation should be documented in the INSTALL.REPO file …

BTW, I boldly overwrote my older Emacs with the new one --- Banzai ! ---

and a few things are not working any longer :

1. jdee does not byte-compile any longer, here is an example:

Compiling file /Users/vincentbelaiche/Documents/Personnel/Projects/jdee/jdee-bug.el at Sat Mar 26 18:38:16 2022

Entering directory ‘/Users/vincentbelaiche/Documents/Personnel/Projects/jdee/’

jdee-bug.el:31:2: Error: Symbol’s value as variable is void: initialize-instance

It seems that there is a change in the way eieio works, probably JDEE is

outdated.

2. I was using a theme, flatland-black-theme.el, and loading it does not

seems to have any effect --- well, I don't get a black theme.

Did you try running "make bootstrap"?
