I've had this problem before because I hadn't built Emacs correctly.  I think
it has something to do with cc-modes many macros and the order in which
they're byte compiled.  `make bootstrap' probably solves it but I just deleted
the byte compiled files associated with cc-mode (cc-*.elc) and did `make
recompile' in emacs/lisp followed by `make' in emacs/src, and that seemed to
solve it.
