No, I tried to follow the instructions in README 
<http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/elpa.git/tree/README>. They say that to 
install all the packages "in place" (which I assume is the simplest way to build 
ELPA) one should run "make externals" first. This fails from a fresh elpa 
checkout as follows:

$ make externals
emacs --batch -l admin/archive-contents.el \
    -f archive-add/remove/update-externals
No "emacs" subdir: will skip :core packages
Cloning branch auctex:
fatal: Not a valid object name: 'origin/externals/auctex'.
...
Cloning branch ebdb:
fatal: Not a valid object name: 'origin/externals/ebdb'.
...

and no doubt this explains the problem. I charged ahead and typed plain 'make' 
which failed as I mentioned earlier. What am I doing wrong? Should the README be 
updated? (As you can probably tell I've never used ELPA, and I must say that the 
startup overhead is offputting.)

That command doesn't work for me:

$ grep '#xffffffff' elpa/**/*.el
grep: elpa/**/*.el: No such file or directory

And this one doesn't find anything for me, in the elpa directory:

grep -r '#xffffffff' .

Are we talking about the same repository? I'm using the Savannah ELPA repository 
under the emacs tree, as in the abovementioned URL.
