Do you realize that the default `source-directory` is hard coded to the path where Emacs sources were when you built them? You cannot relocate them now without either manually changing the value of this variable through Emacs Lisp or rebuilding Emacs from scratch so that the default changes. This poses a major difficulty when distributing Emacs as a prebuilt package, since on the developer machine sources would be located on some directory which does not even exists for end users. How many more times should I repeat that issue?
