Some OpenWrt port related problems

[David Kuehling]

Hi,

I'm currently working on an OpenWrt port [1] for Emacs23 to use on the
Ben NanoNote PDA [2].

OpenWrt packages use cross-compilation, so Emacs is used in a NO_DUMP
configuration, loading loadup.el every time it starts.  This causes at
least one problem with environment variables, that I already fixed [3].

Now I'm hitting another problem when using org-mode:

 File mode specification error: 
 (wrong-type-argument stringp (require . t-mouse))

After some debugging this looks like being caused by variable
load-history containing the element:

  ((require . t-mouse))

This looks a little broken, since all other elements have a
filename-string in front of that cons cell, e.g.:

 ("/usr/share/emacs/23.2/lisp/term/linux.el"
  (defun . terminal-init-linux))

Now org-mode calls eval-after-load which calls
load-history-filename-element which causes the wrong-type-argument error
when using the 'car' of ((require . t-mouse)) with string-match.

I can sanitize load-history in site-start.el, removing the broken entry,
but that's not a very clean fix (also it takes time and memory, what a
waste).

Anybody knows who's fault that error is anyways?  is ((require
. t-mouse)) a valid entry?  Is eval-after-load broken?  How does that
entry get inserted into load-history in the first place?

Full output of C-h v load-history attached.

thanks for any help,

cheers,

David

PS: if it helps I could hand out SSH accounts to the nanonote to
individual developers
