Make error

[Bill Wohler]

Perhaps the person who introduced the following compilation error would
be able to find and fix this. I could not find the problem. Thanks!

Thanks, someone seemed to have fixed the problem I previously reported.

The complication still does not complete:

    ../src/bootstrap-emacs -batch --no-site-file --multibyte -l autoload --eval '(setq generated-autoload-file "/usr/local/src/emacs/lisp/loaddefs.el")' -f batch-update-autoloads $wins

The make seems to be in an infinite loop at this point. Each "Generating
autoloads for add-log.el" takes approximately twice as long as the last.
After about 20 of these messages and 30 minutes later (1.5 GHz machine),
I gave up.

Someone should come forward and take a bow. Emacs now compiles. Thanks
for your quick response!
