Yup. My local Emacs is currently pretty broken because I started to compile all files as "lexical-binding = t". > I don't know why these variables were left (were they really unused?) That's the question that the byte-compiler can't answer: maybe they really weren't used (so you can remove them), or maybe they were used elsewhere via dynamic scoping (in which case you need to add a (defvar ) to force the use of dynamic scoping for this variable). It's very common to have variables that aren't used (since the byte-compiler didn't warn about it). Stefan
