/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50gforth.el
/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/gforth.el
/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/gforth.elc
/usr/share/emacs24/site-lisp/gforth/gforth.el

No. This does not fix the issue. Make install fails as follows:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
...
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 kernl64l.fi /usr/local/share/gforth/0.7.2
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat `gforth.elc': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Note also that farther up in the process, the following are reported:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

So gforth.elc is still not behaving. I'm fairly certain this is the
gforth.elc produced when building 0.7.2 from source in July 2013 (file
date coincides with build date).

I updated to Emacs 24.3 in the Ides of March (eek!)

Note that I pulled a fresh git just a few minutes ago, but when trying
to ./configure it failed, reporting:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
address@hidden:~/Desktop/gforth$ ./configure
