Nope. I just have specific directory where I assembly Emacs Arch
package, whereas the building uses the usual `./configure` and `make`
process. For this test I figured I'd update the Emacs package and test
the same problem at the same time, but I get this.

I think if I remove the repo completely, the error will go away,
because that's how it usually works with that kind of errors. But IMO
this is a bug in build system, because build system should handle
rebuilds without any kind of cleaning or removing specific files.
