Re: Build failure for Emacs master

[Angelo Graziosi]

Just for the record...

After about a month, the issue has reappeared.

Now it fails with this message:

[...]
Loading button...
Loading loaddefs.el (source)...
Wrong number of arguments: autoload, 1325
Makefile:540: set di istruzioni per l'obiettivo "emacs.exe" non riuscito
make[1]: *** [emacs.exe] Errore 127
make[1]: uscita dalla directory "/tmp/work/emacs-master/src"
Makefile:398: set di istruzioni per l'obiettivo "src" non riuscito
make: *** [src] Errore 2

but the lisp/loaddefs.el seems to have the same defects..

Ciao,
 Angelo.
