No news from me, I'm afraid. There are two partial fixes
1. Remove the clean/bootstrap-clean (?) prequisite from the bootstrap
rule in Makefile
2. Remove all the conditional arch detection in debian/rules
(1) works for Kurt, and (2) works for me. I've still not found a
definitive cause. Because the breakage is timing-dependent, it's not
possible to debug, because this slows down the build sufficiently that
it always succeeds.
There have been some changes upstream in their CVS which change these
rules, potentially fixing the problem. I spent several hours
backporting, but the changes were too great to be confident of not
causing collateral damage, and I'm not an emacs guru (some build
changes depend on changes to the .el files). Since emacs autobuilt on
all arches anyway, I didn't feel this would gain much.
My recommendation would be to move to a newer upstream release, if at
all possible; I'll be happy to do further testing on that, but I'm
afraid there's not a lot more I can do with the current version.
Regards,
Roger
