I tried several times (after bzr pulls), but I get this error:

Using load-path (/home/developer/bzr/emacs/lisp /home/developer/bzr/emacs/lisp/emacs-lisp /home/developer/bzr/emacs/lisp/language /home/developer/bzr/emacs/lisp/international /home/developer/bzr/emacs/lisp/textmodes)

No .elc files appear, so this apparently happens on the very first
.el compilation.
