compilation dies loading vc-arch.el if the source is actually in arch

[Miles Bader]

I've reported this before, but was always a bit hesitant because I
wasn't using stock Emacs sources, and figured maybe I was screwing
something up.  This time I was using a fresh CVS checkout of the trunk
though, doing "make bootstrap".

The source directories below are of course in an arch working directory
(/home/m/miles/src/emacs/devo).  I imagine most people don't have
problems because they're not using arch...

[I also tried another compilation using "env - make bootstrap" in case
it was getting screwed by LANG or something, which sometimes happened in
the past, but got the same result.  The make log in that case looks
similar except that it doesn't load anything from .../lisp/international
before loading vc-arch.el.]

Here's the make log once it starts lisp compilation:

   ...
