	I'm forwarding this for a friend. Seems that emacs has
problems when the --srcdir option to configure has a trailing slash on
it because of the way emacs interprets paths.

./temacs -batch -l loadup dump
Cannot open load file: loadup
make[1]: *** [emacs] Error 255
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/emacs-19.25/src'
make: *** [src] Error 2

Well, not quite.  I did create the two directories in question and the
warnings disappeared, but it still failed.  Next I gave the full path name
to the file (I assume .el is appended by emacs), but that failed too:

outland$ ./temacs -batch -l /floppy/Untitled/emacs-19.25/lisp/loadup dump
Loading /floppy/Untitled/emacs-19.25/lisp/loadup...
Using load-path (/floppy/Untitled/emacs-19.25//lisp)
Cannot open load file: subr


outland$ find subr
/floppy/Untitled/emacs-19.25/lisp/subr.el
/floppy/Untitled/emacs-19.25/lisp/subr.elc


Clearly there is a path name problem.  Maybe it is the double slash?


HEY!  It loadeth as we speak!  You might pass this very minor bug onto
whomever writes the installs.  If yopass to configure
--srcdir="[pathname]" and the path ends in a '/' (eg. if you're lazy and
let bash complete the path name for you) all related source paths get a
double '/' between the srcdir and the next directory.  This is ok for the
compile but if

#define PATH_DUMPLOADSEARCH "/floppy/Untitled/emacs-19.25//lisp"

is defined with a double slash then temacs can't find any of its sources.
