Re: make bootstrap fails with newest CVS sources - 2002-11-25

[Steven Tamm <steventamm@mac.com>]

There appears to be a recursive load (I turned up the recursion check 
from 2 to 3 in fns.c) to get it to fail in lread.

Recursive load: "/dev/emacs/lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-macs.el", 
"/dev/emacs/lisp/button.el", "/dev/emacs/lisp/help-mode.el", 
"/dev/emacs/lisp/help-fns.el", "/dev/emacs/lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-macs.el", 
"/dev/emacs/lisp/button.el", "/dev/emacs/lisp/help-mode.el", 
"/dev/emacs/lisp/help-fns.el", "/dev/emacs/lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-macs.el", 
"/dev/emacs/lisp/button.el", "/dev/emacs/lisp/help-mode.el", 
"/dev/emacs/lisp/help-fns.el", "/dev/emacs/lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-macs.el", 
"/dev/emacs/lisp/button.el", "/dev/emacs/lisp/help-mode.el", 
"/dev/emacs/lisp/help-fns.el", "/dev/emacs/lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-macs.el", 
"/dev/emacs/lisp/faces.el", "/dev/emacs/lisp/loadup.el"

The chain appears to be cl-macs -> help-fns -> help-mode -> button -> 
cl-macs

Reverting lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-macs.el to revision 1.34 (where cl-macs 
doesn't require help-fns) makes bootstrap proceed again.
The only thing I don't really understand is why button.el requires 
cl-macs?
