Because it apparently worked for somebody else, something must be going locally wrong. I will try to figure out what. So the problem with your other patch I replied about previously might be local too. I can not check out the effects of the patch above because it somehow breaks bootstrapping for me. (Again, probably just a local problem.) But how are people going to notice after your patch that there were problems building a manual? Hopefully that will still be completely apparent and impossible to overlook and hopefully people will still point it out to emacs-pretest-bug or emacs-devel. Otherwise, this could, in my opinion, be a step backward. Sincerely, Luc.
