Howdy:

We're running emacs-18.59 on sparcs and SunOS 4.1.1.  Consider the
following elisp code:

======================================================================
(require 'cl)
(when (not (fboundp 'message-no-log))
  (setf (symbol-function 'message-no-log)
	(symbol-function 'message)))
======================================================================

Emacs-18.58 has no problem evaluating this, but emacs-18.59 complains
with:

 No `setf' update-function for `(symbol-function (quote message-no-log))'

I checked around and discovered that, although, emacs-18.58/lisp/cl.el
and emacs-18.59/lisp/cl.el are identical files,
emacs-18.58/lisp/cl.elc and emacs-18.59/lisp/cl.elc differ.  I then
recomplied emacs-18.59/lisp/cl.el, started a new emacs, loaded the new
.elc file, and evaluated the code above without problems.

Is this a bug with some optimizing byte-compiler?
