emacs master broken

emacs master broken

[James Cloos]

i'm slow on putting together a proper bug report, but on compiles of master
this month gnus has not worked.

one bug went away when using a hardlink instead of a symlink from
/usr/bin/emacs-28-vcs to /usr/bin/emacs,

(i use the gentoo ebuild to compile and install master.)

but xml.c seems to be missing, causing libxl-parse-html-region to fail,
which breaks reading any mail w/ an html part.

before i switched from symlink to hardlink, something would kill gnuswhen
i first started it after starting a new emacs, but the 2nd time would work.

that stopped occurring w/ a hardlink....

It sounds very odd that xml.c should be missing -- it sounds like your
checkout of the sources is broken.

If this is a gentoo bug, you should probably take it up with them.

as it happens today i wasable to test another new compile and it works
again.

the only difference was another pull on the emacs repo, so some commit
there fixed it.
