Re: Should lisp/Makefile.in custom-deps be using EMACS or emacs?

[Richard Stallman]

In the case that fails, can you try running by hand under GDB the
command that actually uses cus-dep.el and step through the code in
init_lread which sets up load-path, to see why the installed Lisp
directories end up in the value?  That's the only way to
figure this out.  Treating it as a black box won't get anywhere.
