Here's another unusual build failure.  This time on Debian Wheezy ia64:

  Compiling /build/buildd-emacs24_24.1+1-3-ia64-1WcbZW/emacs24-24.1+1/debian/build-x/lisp/progmodes/cc-fonts.el

  In toplevel form:
  progmodes/cc-fonts.el:76:27:Error: Symbol's value as variable is void: quote
  make[4]: *** [/build/buildd-emacs24_24.1+1-3-ia64-1WcbZW/emacs24-24.1+1/debian/build-x/lisp/progmodes/cc-fonts.elc] Error 1
  make[4]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

  https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=emacs24&arch=ia64&ver=24.1%2B1-3&stamp=1342582280

Does that look familiar?

I think we probably have an ia64 porterbox, so I should be able to do
some testing when I get time.

Thanks

More information was requested a year ago, and there are other reports
that this is working now, so I'm closing this bug report.  If this is
still a problem, please reopen.
