Dear Emacs Pretest Bug list,

I am building emacs from CVS source.  I most recently ran CVS Update at
April 3rd 2003, 23:30 GMT.  

As recommended in INSTALL-CVS, I ran "configure", then "make
bootstrap".  (I have tried this twice.)  I get this output from "make":

  nice make -w
  make: Entering directory `/spare/src/Emacs21/emacs-CVS'
  [...]
  make[1]: Entering directory `/spare/src/Emacs21/emacs-CVS/src'
  cd ../lwlib/; make -w CC='gcc' CFLAGS='-std=gnu9x -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -pipe -ggdb3 -W -Wall -Wbad-function-cast -Wcast-align -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-qual -Wshadow -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -fkeep-static-consts  -fkeep-inline-functions -Wundef -Wwrite-strings -Waggregate-return -Wmissing-noreturn -Wnested-externs -Wtrigraphs' MAKE='make' "C_SWITCH_X_SITE=-I/usr/X11R6/include" "C_SWITCH_X_MACHINE=" "C_SWITCH_X_SYSTEM=" "C_SWITCH_SITE=" "C_SWITCH_MACHINE=" "C_SWITCH_SYSTEM=-D_BSD_SOURCE"
  make[2]: Entering directory `/spare/src/Emacs21/emacs-CVS/lwlib'
  make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
  make[2]: Leaving directory `/spare/src/Emacs21/emacs-CVS/lwlib'
  make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/Emacs21/emacs-CVS/src/../lisp/map-ynp.elc', needed by `../etc/DOC'.  Stop.
  make[1]: Leaving directory `/spare/src/Emacs21/emacs-CVS/src'
  make: *** [src] Error 2
  make: Leaving directory `/spare/src/Emacs21/emacs-CVS'

  Compilation exited abnormally with code 2 at Thu Apr  3 15:42:16

In src/Makefile, I find the following dependency:

   ${etc}DOC: ${libsrc}make-docfile ${obj} ${shortlisp} ${SOME_MACHINE_LISP}

and map-ynp.elc is listed among the files in ${shortlisp}.

I've tried byte-compiling the files by hand with my older version of
Emacs (21.3.50.3 of 2002-06-22, from CVS source)
but that doesn't work either, since it doesn't like the escape
character syntax in international/characters.el:

   ;; For indentation calculation.
   (define-category ?\s
     "This character counts as a space for indentation purposes.")

which gets the error:

  In toplevel form
  /usr/src/Emacs21/emacs-CVS/lisp/international/characters.el:85:1:
   error: error (("Invalid escape character syntax"))

Not reproduceable.
