I keep source and build directories of Emacs separately. (The build
directory is not a subdir of the source tree.) And  from time to time I
rebuild Emacs by invoking:
make && sudo make install.
I've "grepped" for "eldoc-documentation-function-default" in my
*source* tree and found *binary* matches. (Probably, sometime
I've invoke make in the source directory.)
Thus, I am clean the source tree and rebuild Emacs. The problem
is gone, so it is mea culpa, rather than bug. Sorry!
But this is a question. Why "make install" invoked in the
*build* directory after updating the source tree messed up the
installation?
Thanks!
