I tested more thoroughly and came up with the conclusion that my patch
doesn't solve anything because I can't reproduce the build problem
anymore. I did this:
- I used git-new-workdir to get two copies of the emacs tree
- In one of them, I applied an extension of the patch I posted
  previously : it mostly modifies a few calls to (debug ...) into (debug
  nil ...) (See attachment.)
- In the other I used savannah/master as of
     commit b01cf822c5ac044bb550231c811a062d3a8cbeec
     Author: Glenn Morris <rgm <at> gnu.org>
     Date:   Tue Apr 21 06:18:09 2015 -0400

Conclusion : both trees compiled just fine.

I can only assume that I had leftover files, which caused the problem
(even though I'm almost sure I used "make bootstrap" when doing my tests
initially).

I'm now closing the bug and will reopen it if I see the initial problem again.

Should the attached patch (or some variation of it) be applied anyway ?
