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.

   ... But, perhaps only vc related files were the source of your

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