Re: CVS Emacs doesn't build

[Richard Stallman]

    I managed to build Emacs by reverting this patch and removing
    `lisp/loaddefs.el'.

We don't want to do that.

    +;;;###autoload
     (defun coding-system-equal (coding-system-1 coding-system-2)
       "Return t if and only if CODING-SYSTEM-1 and CODING-SYSTEM-2 are 
identical.
     Two coding systems are identical if two symbols are equal

                     (and (not (> (downcase c1) (downcase c2)))
                          (< c1 c2)))))))

    +;;;###autoload

mule.el is preloaded, so this autolod cookie ought to have no effect.

Can you debug why the build fails?
