Hi Martin, the latter are lisp errors.
Please provide the commands executed by make before the above error.
Try putting these lines
(setq debug-on-error t)
(setq debug-on-quit t)
(setq debug-on-signal t)
at the beginning of the .el file loaded on the command-line (perhaps
update-elc-2.el ?) of the failing command and run make again.
Send us the backtrace.
Hope this helps,
Adrian
