This message means that the `(bootstrap-)emacs` executable used to byte-compile "that" file was built at a time when loaddefs.el was different, so before performing the compilation we reload loaddefs.el to overwrite the preloaded settings with its new contents. IOW the "stale loaddefs.el" is the one that was preloaded rather than the current file. > What's the significance of specifying "stale"? I guess it wasn't a great choice of word, indeed, since it makes it sound like the current loaddefs.el is stale. Stefan
