I'm filing a bug report to solve this GNU ELPA build failure:

Byte compiling packages/excorporate/excorporate.el

In toplevel form:
packages/excorporate/excorporate.el:257:23:Error: Wrong type argument:
listp, start-exco--fsm
make[1]: *** [packages/excorporate/excorporate.elc] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/local/source/elpa'
make: *** [all-in-place] Error 2
