There haven't been any changes to these (or other files) in a year
(other than a docstring fix a few months ago), so I suspect that you
have a .elc mismatch. Try to remove lisp/mh-e/*.elc and make
recompile. Failing that, try make bootstrap. If that fails, then there
is probably some compilation error in there somewhere. Please find it
and report it and I'll try to reproduce it here.

I suppose it's also possible that a recent change in macro handling
might have broken things...

I found this problem while bootstrapping :)

Specifically, I do (I'm on Windows, using MinGW 3.4.5):

  cd nt
  make realclean
  cd ../src
  make distclean
  cd ../nt
  configure --with-gcc --no-cygwin
  make bootstrap install

In the full output of the bootstrap, the only errors are these:

After the bootstrap, the only .elc files in lisp/mh-e/ are
mh-buffers.elc and mh-e.elc.

I got the same problem a couple of times on a Fedora machine when
using make -j2. In a different thread Andreas posted this patch:

that seemed to help. Does it fix your issue too?

FWIW, I don't have this problem (also on Windows).

Well, the problem just disappeared, and I haven't changed anything on
my side, just updated from CVS and bootstrapped again.
