About a year ago I reported a bug in the following code in startup.el:
...
((or (string-equal argi "-l")
(string-equal argi "-load"))
(let ((load-path (cons default-directory load-path)))
(load (car command-line-args-left) nil t))
...)
The problem is that there is no way for a file loaded by command line
options to change load-path for a later command (such as byte-compiling a
file with require's in it). There was a reply (by someone who I believe
was official) saying that this would be fixed in the next release. Well,
the report was made in version 18.55.13 and I am currently using 18.55.19,
but the problem persists. Did the fix get lost somewhere? In any case, is
there an official patch that we can install locally? This bug makes it a
pain to compile large systems spread around several directories.
