Thanks for digging here and finding this out. This brings up a fundamental question though; Shouldn't a fresh tar ball not have any compiled objects in it? I always figured these to be "clean uncompiled" source and the local build / make process would compile everything fresh. Oh and I thought I had read that g-client wasn't active anymore. Am I missing something here? I just did a fresh extract of the 42.0 tar ball and did a make clean. I then captured a list of .elc files. There seems to be quite a few. I will include the list at bottom of this message. Yep, I removed *EVERY* .elc file in the working directory where I did this test build and now tha make went through to completion. I have seen several packages over the years have an additional make target called dist-clean or something similar and That target was intended to ready a package for source distributions. Personally, I would have thought the regular clean target should do likewise but I guess the clean target was intended for re-building in an existing project. Anyway, enough rambling for now.
