Hello.
I compiled and installed the 22.0.99.1 pretest from alpha.gnu.org:

  ./configure --with-png --with-gtk --with-xpm --with-jpeg --with-tiff
- --with-sound --prefix=/home/luca/usr && make bootstrap -j 4 && make
install

Note that the directory /home/luca/usr existed but was *empty*.
All environment variables were already correctly setup:

Note that the `install' Makefile target installs most Emacs Lisp source
files *gzipped*.

Ok, then I generated TAGS from /home/luca/usr/share/emacs:
  etags `find -name \*.el` `find -name \*.el.gz`

When looking up a tag referring a compressed ELisp file with M-.,
Emacs fails to find the correct file, as it tries to open a non-existing
*uncompressed* version.

For example with M-. goto-line
I see this in the minibuffer:

File /home/luca/usr/share/emacs/22.0.99/lisp/simple.el not found

/home/luca/usr/share/emacs/22.0.99/lisp/simple.el in fact is not there, but
/home/luca/usr/share/emacs/22.0.99/lisp/simple.el.gz exists, and its
content is correct (it's gzipped, of course).

Uncompressing all installed gzipped elisp files and regenerating TAGS is
a way to work around the problem (tested).

I don't know whether this behavior is consistent with old releases, but
it's definitely not what the user expects.
