Thanks for your efforts.

It would be good to narrow down the bug to the specific checkin
responsible.  This won't take many more steps, since there were only a
few checkins to the source tree on that day (I assume these are the
changes dated 20060911 in the ChangeLogs, but I'm not sure if timezone
issues affect this---you can check the ChangeLog after each cvs `-D'
update to find out).  Please do the following from the emacs/
directory:

1. cvs up -D 2006-09-11
   make distclean
   ./configure --with-gtk CFLAGS="-pipe -O2 -g"
   make bootstrap

I assume this doesn't fail, as per your bug report.

2. cvs up -D 2006-09-12 src/keymap.c
   make distclean
   ./configure --with-gtk CFLAGS="-pipe -O2 -g"
   make bootstrap

If bootstrap still doesn't fail, repeat step 2 using

   cvs up -D 2006-09-12 make-dist

If bootstrap still doesn't fail, repeat step 2 using

   cvs up -D 2006-09-12 lisp/*.el

And please let us know at which step the bootstrap first breaks.  If
it doesn't break, please play around with the other commits listed in
src/ChangeLog around that time.

Thanks.
