Apparently this make process does not take into account inter-package
dependencies; ada-mode depends on wisi, and both were upgraded this
morning.

Do you have an older version of 'wisi' installed in ~/.emacs.d/elpa/?
That would explain your symptom.

Is there any way to indicate to the make process that it must build wisi
first, and add it to the load path when building ada-mode?
