22.1.50; Cannot compile many lisp files

[jpff <jpff@codemist.co.uk>]

Today i am seeing lots of error messages when byte-compiling

Example
In toplevel form:
progmodes/cc-mode.el:170:13:Error: Wrong type argument: listp, source-eval
make: *** [/home/jpff/GNU_21/emacs-22.0.50/lisp/progmodes/cc-mode.elc] Error 1


I cannot rebuild and my .emacs file is in a mess.

Another exampek is that it fails to compile

(if appt-audible (beep 1))

saying Wrong type argument: listp, appt-audible

Just tried to rebuild, and cannot do that.
