Bootstrapping Emacs-23.0.60-trunk newly broken (GNU/Linux, Cygwin)

[Angelo Graziosi <angelo.graziosi@alice.it>]

(GNU/Linux Kubuntu 7.10 and Cygwin)

The bootstrap is newly broken. About 15 hours ago was fixed with:

----------------------------------------------------------
2008-04-11  Stefan Monnier  <...>
[...]

         * dired.el (dired-read-dir-and-switches): Use 
read-directory-name even
         for non-dialogs.

         * Makefile.in (bootstrap-prepare): Don't copy ldefs-boot over 
loaddefs.

         * loadup.el: Load ldefs-boot.el if loaddefs.el doesn't exist.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

(It failed as described in [1])

Now it fails as described in [2]!!!

Just a curiosity: who submits patches to CVS, will test them with a 
clean bootstrap???

'Clean' does not mean 'make maintainer-clean && make bootstrap', but:

mkdir new_dir
cd new_dir
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/emacs co -P emac

cd emacs
./configure
make bootstrap


Yes, it is heavy, but it is the only clean method that will guarantee 
the patches do no introduce regressions.


Cheers,
    Angelo.
