Bootstapping CVS-Emacs fails

[Angelo Graziosi]

I have observed this both on GNU/Linux Kubuntu 7.10 and Cygwin:


----------------
...
./temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap
Loading loadup.el (source)...
Using load-path (/home/angelo/downloads/emacs.ports/emacs/lisp

/home/angelo/downloads/emacs.ports/emacs/lisp/international

Loading international/mule-conf.el (source)...
Loading env (source)...
Loading format (source)...
Loading bindings (source)...
Loading /home/angelo/downloads/emacs.ports/emacs/lisp/files.el (source)...
Wrong number of arguments: (lambda (fn file &optional arglist) "Tell the
byte-compiler that function FN is defined, in FILE.
Optional ARGLIST is the argument list used by the function.  The
FILE argument is not used by the byte-compiler, but by the
`check-declare' package, which checks that FILE contains a
definition for FN.  FILE should be either absolute, or relative
to the location of the file containing the declaration.  ARGLIST
is used by both the byte-compiler and `check-declare' to check
for consistency.

Note that for the purposes of `check-declare', this statement
must be the first non-whitespace on a line, and everything up to
the end of FILE must be all on the same line.  For example:

(declare-function c-end-of-defun \"progmodes/cc-cmds.el\"
                  (&optional arg))"), 1
make[2]: *** [bootstrap-emacs] Error 255
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/home/angelo/downloads/emacs.ports/emacs/.build/src'
make[1]: *** [bootstrap-build] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/angelo/downloads/emacs.ports/emacs/.build'
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2
---------------

This happens with a fresh CVS (a few minutes ago) and with CVS of about 12
hours before (with similar but in a different .el file).

The bootstrap was configured (as usually I do) with

     ../configure --prefix=${prefix_dir} \
                 --with-x-toolkit=lucid



Cheers,

   Angelo.
