Sorry 'bout that.  I ran "make bootstrap" after cvs'ing the emacs-bidi 
branch.

Turns out that function "bidi_dump_cached_states" in bidi.c prints to 
stderr, but stdio is only included #ifdef TEST_STANDALONE.  Since the 
function doesn't seem to be used, I just #if 0'ed it out and "make 
bootstrap" succeeded.

Regarding TEST_STANDALONE, I don't see any make targets or anything 
obvious for doing that.  Do you have any tools/test stuff remaining for 
this?

What would you think about moving your TEST_STANDALONE code out of 
bidi.c and in to a separate driver program?  Also, would it make sense 
to use a logging framework like Log4c (http://log4c.sourceforge.net/) 
instead of simulate_display?

I'm also looking at unit test framework that I think might be useful: 
CUnit (http://cunit.sourceforge.net/index.html), which is a GPL'ed 
JUnit-like framework for C.

thx,
