24.3.50; latest trunk fails to compile on linux |

Emacs trunk fails to compile on a fresh branch.
However compile succeeds if an older version is used.
Subsequent compilation of latest version also succeeds.
Details follow.
First attempt at compiling latest trunk fails via
cd $SRC/emacs/emacs-trunk
bzr pull --overwrite http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/trunk
cd ..
bzr branch emacs-trunk emacs-trunk_20130311
cd emacs-trunk_20130311
./configure --prefix /opt/local
make all info
Above fails with
...
Loading loadup.el (source)...
Using load-path ($SRC/emacs/emacs-trunk_20130311/lisp
$SRC/emacs/emacs-trunk_20130311/lisp/emacs-lisp
$SRC/emacs/emacs-trunk_20130311/lisp/language
$SRC/emacs/emacs-trunk_20130311/lisp/international
$SRC/emacs/emacs-trunk_20130311/lisp/textmodes)
Loading emacs-lisp/byte-run (source)...
Symbol's function definition is void: \`
However if an older version is used, then the compile succeeds:
bzr up -r 111990
./configure --prefix /opt/local
make all info
Now going back to latest trunk version (which failed to compile earlier)
succeeds as well:
bzr up
./configure --prefix /opt/local
make all info
This problem showed up sometime after Feb 28, 2013. I have been
compiling latest trunk once every week or so for a long time via the
same steps, which worked for me for several years until it started
failing in the past couple of weeks.
I use Ubuntu 12.04 on a 64-bit laptop.

Thanks for installing a patch (trunk bzr 112029).
It works for me and I'm marking this as done.
