Hello,

After update to commit fda9a2bbfd of master, build of some
3rd party applications fail such as following.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
if test "emacs" != "no"; then \
  am__dir=. am__subdir_includes=''; \
  case cannarpc.elc in */*) \
    am__dir=`echo 'cannarpc.elc' | sed 's,/[^/]*$,,'`; \
    am__subdir_includes="-L $am__dir -L ./$am__dir"; \
  esac; \
  test -d "$am__dir" || /usr/bin/mkdir -p "$am__dir" || exit 1; \
  emacs --batch \
    -q -no-site-file -no-init-file --eval="(setq load-path (append (list (expand-file-name \"..\")) load-path))" --eval="(load \"docomp.el\")"  \
    $am__subdir_includes -L . -L . \
    --eval "(defun byte-compile-dest-file (f) \"cannarpc.elc\")" \
    --eval "(unless (byte-compile-file \"cannarpc.el\") (kill-emacs 1))"; \
else :; fi
