Please provide the commands executed by make before the above error.
Sorry to be somewhat obtuse, but the GNUMakefile is not very forthcoming
about what it is doing. The most probable command executed is
./xemacs -batch -f list-load-path-shadows
in the src subdirectory.
I don't know how to get a backtrace out of this. If I execute it by hand
in the builddir/src, it gives the same message and a return code of 255.
In fact, any invocation of this new xemacs with whatever command-line
option gives me the same message
Symbol's value as variable is void: tables
I tried to put -eval '(setq debug-on-error t)' etc on the command line,
but this has no effect.
OTOH, if I rm src/xemacs and then run "make" by hand, it recreates a new
xemacs executable that seems to be correct, and make goes through to the
end without error. This is really hard to catch <sigh>.
