Subject: byte-compile-file: emacs vs the command line.

I'm running this

  $ emacs -version

  $ 

on this

  $ uname -a
  Linux UlanBator 3.10-2-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.10.5-1 (2013-08-07) i686 GNU/Linux

  $ 

a debian testing system updated weekly.  When I byte-compile a file using
byte-compile-file within emacs, I get this

  Compiling file /home/rclayton/.emacs.d/rmail-init.el at Sat Dec 28 17:24:55 2013
  Entering directory `/home/rclayton/.emacs.d/'
  rmail-init.el:56:21:Warning: reference to free variable `mail-mode-map'

  rmail-init.el:63:15:Warning: assignment to free variable
      `rmail-confirm-expunge'

but when I try it from the command-line I get this:

  $ make
  emacs --batch --eval '(byte-compile-file "~/.emacs.d/rmail-init.el" nil)'

  In toplevel form:
  rmail-init.el:5:4:Error: Cannot open load file: general-utils

  $ ls -l rm*
  -rw------- 1 rclayton rclayton 2548 Dec 28 17:19 rmail-init.el

  $ 

In both cases rmail-init.elc didn't exist before compiling.  Why is the
command-line compile failing, and how can I fix it?
