Since we already know how to fix the build on 21.4, I don't think it's worth doing and don't plan to put in any effort toward that myself. (Ie, I don't even know what those extensions are and feel no need-to-know). In fact we have two fixes. One which involves changes to 21.4 and thus is not backward compatible to existing installations in the sense that anyone with an existing installation < 21.4.22 who wants to build all packages would have to upgrade to 21.4.22. The other involves a monkey-patch which could be added to the package build process and used only on those installations that don't support it (it involves adding a new variable, and thus a boundp test for that variable would be definitive). The former fix is preferred by Mike but Vin isn't doing anything about it, and the latter requires monkey-patching, which has its own set of problems. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
