Subject: 27.0.50; completing-read: Symbol’s function
 definition is void: internal-make-closure
Date: Thu, 04 Jan 2018 21:29:55 -0800

Starting from `emacs -Q` on the lastest Git master branch revision
(1cc7bc0f6 "Improve backward compatibility in tramp-archive" at time of
writing):

1) C-h v RET
2) Get error in minibuffer, instead of prompt to specify variable.

A bisect appears to point to ce4865819 ("Fix command repetition with
lexical-binding (Bug#29334)") to be the culprit. I'm afraid I'm not much
help in coming up with a fix though.

At least for me, it took a very deep clean ('git clean -dXf' is what I
used) for different checkouts to actually affect the result; doing a
make distclean and *.elc removal on a known good build did not fix the
error, only by doing the above Git command did I get any changes between
checkouts.

This is also consistent across computers; I encountered this error on my
work laptop first, and was able to reproduce on my personal laptop
afterwards. I did not at the time have a known good revision with which
to double-check on my work laptop, but I suspect that changing to the
revision I now know is good and doing the git clean then a rebuild will
fix the error.

Please let me know if I can be of any more help.

Thanks!

I thought byte-compile-lambda received the source form, but it looks
like it actually gets some kind of semi-compiled thing (which happens to
be valid lisp for simple or non-lexical code).  Getting the original
source form to that function looks to be pretty awkward; maybe the best
option is to revert the change and pursue the alternate methods
suggested by Stefan in Bug#29334.

Hmm, I would think removing elc, emacs, and emacs-bootstrap executables
should be enough.

I've reverted the change.
