Yes, I believe this is due to a recent change by Aidan.
As an unfairly neglected high point of popular music put it,
Ididn’tdoitnobodysawmedoityoucan’tproveanything. It was Ben, see the last
chunk of the diff here:
http://cvs.xemacs.org/viewcvs.cgi/XEmacs/xemacs/src/specifier.c.diff?r1=1...
And the error in question has been around for a while (note that while
Artemi posted his message after my commit, he had been building without Mule
for that reason for a long time):
http://calypso.tux.org/pipermail/xemacs-beta/2006-November/010170.html
I didn't realize it was backward incompatible (the functionality
definitely requires a different signature, but you'd think he would have
grandfathered existing usage *sigh*).
Aidan, please rewrite this and arrange that old-style calls continue
to work (ie, not throw syntax errors and do something more or less
backward compatible).
I’m inclined to change x-symbol to use face-font-instance instead--it’s an
XEmacs-specific API that’s not in wide use.
