bug#519: emacs-cvs-23.0.9999 fails to compiler (gentoo)

[Allan Gottlieb <gottlieb@nyu.edu>]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

[The bug occurs during a compilation of emacs.  The compilation
was *not* done on the machine on which I am composing this mail.
*This* machine runs 22.2.
The compilation *was* done on a machine on which I run emacs 23.0.50.
I have manually pasted into this msg the description of that machine
generated by M-x report-emacs-bug]

(Thanks for emacs, which I have used with great success and pleasure
during the past 20 years.)

I run gentoo and am currently using the emacs-cvs package.  I use
23.0.50 with success.  Both yesterday and today, when I try to upgrade
with
  emerge --verbose --ask --deep --update --newuse --tree emacs-cvs
I get a compile-time error as shown below.

thanks,
allan
