It says "can't find eshell-defgroup". make bootstrap is generating loaddefs.el with lines like (eshell-defgroup eshell-alias nil "Docstring" :tag "Command aliases" :gr\oup 'eshell-module) , and AFTER them the line which should have come first: (defalias 'eshell-defgroup 'defgroup) . It seems that the loaddefs.el generator first builds these (eshell-defgroup....) lines in eshell/esh-group.el, and then, somehow, copies them to loaddefs.el. The code isn't easy to understand. -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
