Not too much. Time to quit, though; I'll send the files tomorrow.
The differences found were in (core) lisp/bytecomp.elc (I haven't
checked if it is merely the patch), and (packages)
gnus/gnus-start.elc, calc/calc.elc, w3/w3-display.elc, and
w3/w3-parse.elc.
I will say, as an aside, that the last few months of hacking on the
package build process have been a massive step backward. Several
targets that used to work for me now fail. It is also certain that an
attempt to start from the bare metal with CVS checkouts of xemacs and
xemacs-packages will fail (several packages require an installed
package hierarchy to be available), but I don't know how screwed up
that is yet. This also used to work for me, with the caveat that some
tweaking was required to get VM and skk to build their manuals.
