sorry, i forgot to mention that i always use the "bootstrap" target, because i
don't cvs all that often.  i'm running freebsd-5.4, btw.

your crystal ball is amazing, but you should't trust it:

0 p1 $ ll lisp/generic* lisp/emacs-lisp/generic*
215372 -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  - 11891 12 Mai 15:23 
lisp/emacs-lisp/generic.el
214386 -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  -  6720 25 Mai 13:47 
lisp/emacs-lisp/generic.elc
199833 -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  - 53320 25 Mai 15:21 lisp/generic-x.el
199394 -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  - 45310 25 Mai 13:39 lisp/generic-x.elc

cvs obviously took care of the stale file.  i have "up -PAdT -I Readme" in my
~/.cvsrc, with `-T' propably unneccessary (i'm no committer).

so i really needed that

  0 p1 $ g -A5 -- -ino: lisp/generic-x.el
  lisp/generic-x.el:;; -ino: 20050525-1330
  lisp/generic-x.el-(eval-when-compile (require 'generic))

line, n'est ce pas?  without it, the compile failed, with it it worked.
