Did
bzr pull
bzr clean-tree (and 'y' to  delete of various files)
./configure
make bootstrap

And still get

Saving file /home/robert/emacs-bzr/lisp/calendar/cal-loaddefs.el...
Eager macro-expansion failure: (invalid-read-syntax ")")

Looking back in the make I see

../lisp/minibuffer.el: `with-wrapper-hook' is an obsolete macro (as of 24.4); use a <foo>-function variable modified by `add-function'.

Not sure whether those messages are expected.
