Re: batch-bytecomp backtrace?

[Miles Bader]

BTW, the bootstrapping problem I'm having seems somehow related to
`vc-arch.el' -- the file that won't compile _does_ compile if I make
sure `vc-arch.el' has been compiled first:

E.g., here it fails (and this is repeatable); $LSE and $LBE are the
emacs source and build roots:

   $ (cd $LSE/lisp; $LBE/src/bootstrap-emacs -batch --no-site-file --multibyte 
-f batch-byte-compile eshell/esh-module.el )
   Loading ange-ftp (source)...
   Loading vc-arch (source)...

   In toplevel form:
   eshell/esh-module.el:29:13:Error: Lisp nesting exceeds max-lisp-eval-depth


But if I then compile vc-arch.el:

   $ (cd $LSE/lisp; $LBE/src/bootstrap-emacs -batch --no-site-file --multibyte 
-f batch-byte-compile vc-arch.el )

   In end of data:
   vc-arch.el:421:1:Warning: the function `vc-switches' might not be defined at
       runtime.
   Wrote /usr/local/src/emacs/lisp/vc-arch.elc


Now it succeeds:

   $ (cd $LSE/lisp; $LBE/src/bootstrap-emacs -batch --no-site-file --multibyte 
-f batch-byte-compile eshell/esh-module.el )
   Loading ange-ftp (source)...
   Loading vc-arch...
