After updating to
today's CVS snapshot, Mon, 2004 Mar 29 12:26 UTC
in /usr/local/src/emacs-test/ [rather than the more usual /usr/local/src/emacs/]
using the command cvs -z6 update -dP
I ran
make distclean
./configure --with-type1 --with-x-toolkit=gtk --with-pop \
--prefix=/usr/local --with-sound=yes \
&& time make bootstrap
which resulted in this error:
Loading vc-cvs (source)...
Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
make[1]: *** [autoloads] Error 255
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/emacs-test/lisp'
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2
However, the vc-cvs.el file evaluates without reported error,
as does the alphabetically previous file, vc-arch.el, and the
alphabetically next file, vc-hooks.el.
Also, there is no
emacs-test/leim/leim-list.el
file although I thought that file is supposed to be rebuilt
automatically if non-existent.
Please, could someone who knows more than I replicate this problem?
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.

Sucess! CVS now bootstraps.
After updating to
Today's CVS snapshot, Mon, 2004 Mar 29 20:38 UTC
GNU Emacs 21.3.50.4 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.2.4)
with a completely fresh checkout
I am able to build and run Emacs using
./configure --with-type1 --with-x-toolkit=gtk --with-pop \
--prefix=/usr/local --with-sound=yes \
&& time make bootstrap
Also, after making a completely new checkout, not containing any of my
old CVS sources, I gradually added my old variations including, most
importantly, Mile's patch to xfaces.c. Emacs continued to build
successfully. (I was needlessly worried that the old patches I used
made a difference.)
This message is written and sent using this new instance of Emacs,
with Mile's patch applied, so I can actually read that this is the
*mail* buffer.
Thank you!

Do you mean that leim-list.el is also generated
successfully?
By the way, don't you happen to build Emacs under a hidden
directory (e.g. /.../.tmp/emacs)?

successfully?
Yes. It was generated this time:
-rw-r--r-- 1 bob users 27674 Mar 29 23:32 leim-list.el
(It was not generated earlier when bootstrapping failed.)
By the way, don't you happen to build Emacs under a hidden
directory (e.g. /.../.tmp/emacs)?
No, I build Emacs in /usr/local/src/emacs. (I keep source directories
that I am working on in /usr/local/src/.) I never heard of the idea
of using a hidden directory and do not see any reason to.

Hmmm, then I have no idea which recent change fix building
of leim-list.el, which still make me uneasy. But, perhaps
only vc related files were the source of your trouble.

That may well be the case. vc-arch.el is no longer loaded although
it is compiled.
