bug#5316: make[1]: Leaving directory vs. RET

[jidanni]

Regarding these two lines,
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jidanni/pda/webtree/addresses'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jidanni/pda/webtree/addresses'
If the user places the cursor upon the directory in the latter and hits
RET, emacs should visit there, just like when he does it on the former.
Instead, it goes to default-directory.

emacs-version "23.1.90.1"

I tried reproducing this in Emacs 27 when compiling:

make[2]: Entering directory '/home/larsi/src/emacs/trunk/doc/lispref'
make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'info'.
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/larsi/src/emacs/trunk/doc/lispref'
make -C doc/lispintro info
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/larsi/src/emacs/trunk/doc/lispintro'
make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'info'.
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/larsi/src/emacs/trunk/doc/lispintro'

And putting point in the string portion of Entering/Leaving takes me to
the directory in question, so that's been fixed, apparently?  Are you
still able to see this bug in modern Emacs versions?

But if I put point on "make[1]:", then I get this backtrace:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)

I just use Debian's emacs-version "26.1", so I'll trust you.

LI> But if I put point on "make[1]:", then I get this backtrace:

OK please fix that then.
