That's strange. I suspect something went wrong when unpacking the
distro, or perhaps you inadvertently deleted all *.elc files in one of
your previous attempts.

I don't think I tried a full bootstrap in Emacs 22.x for a long time;
it's possible that something broke since I last did. The DJGPP build
of Emacs 22 was not maintained for several years, so it's quite
possible that it bit-rotted.

That's a known problem in Emacs 22.3; it is corrected in the
development sources for the upcoming Emacs 23 release. To fix this in
Emacs 22.3, apply the patch below, then byte-compile startup.el and
say "make install" in the top-level directory to rebuild Emacs.
(In case you didn't know, to byte-compile startup.el, chdir to the
`lisp' subdirectory and type "make startup.elc".)
