This is very time consuming to try build fixes... For example, in my case, I am trying to figure out if some changes I made in the tramp files, enables them to byte compile properly on my system. I tried using emacs --batch tramp*.el [with an existing emacs] and temacs --batch tramp*.el [with the partially built emacs] I am sure there are various environment variables involved in the process as well. For now I just make changes, distclean, and rebuild. This takes as you all know a long time to find out if I did anything right to at least allow a clean compile. Thanks, darel henman
