Now the make process is getting absurd. 
For example I put in org-agenda.el

(if (featurep 'xemacs)
	(define-obsolete-variable-alias 'org-agenda-menu-two-column 'org-agenda-menu-two-columns)
  (define-obsolete-variable-alias 'org-agenda-menu-two-column 'org-agenda-menu-two-columns "24.3"))

Now when I run make, with the local.mk for Xemacs, 

oldorg:	# do what the old Makefile did by default.

I obtain

But  according to the docstring:

| 
| `define-obsolete-function-alias' is a built-in compiled Lisp function

| 
| Documentation:
| Define OLDFUN as an obsolete alias for function NEWFUN.
| This makes calling OLDFUN equivalent to calling NEWFUN and marks OLDFUN
| as obsolete.

When I byte compile org-agenda.el individually no such problem occurs. 

What is wrong?
