Problem is: "grep" tells me that "eldoc-documentation-function-default"
does not appear anywhere in Emacs's `trunk' code.

Could it be that you have some old file getting in the way somewhere?
Maybe a "make bootstrap" is needed?

I keep source and build directories of Emacs separately. (The build

directory is not a subdir of the source tree.) And  from time to time I

rebuild Emacs by invoking:

make && sudo make install.

I've "grepped" for "eldoc-documentation-function-default" in my

*source* tree and found *binary* matches. (Probably, sometime

I've invoke make in the source directory.)

Thus, I am clean the source tree and rebuild Emacs. The problem

is gone, so it is mea culpa, rather than bug. Sorry!

But this is a question. Why "make install" invoked in the

*build* directory after updating the source tree messed up the

installation?

Thanks!
