[AUCTeX-devel] Patch for Makefile to compile vs Emacs (e08e0880f9+)

[Vladimir Lomov]

Hello,

beginning with commit e08e0880f9 (that didn't compile clearly, one needs
to use ca99c00f7574d one) Emacs failed to build auctex due to (I suppose
because I don't know Emacs Lisp in details, and that commit is all
about) lexical binding. I looked into how Emacs buildin packages are
compiled (as well as org-mode) and prepared the following patch for
Makefile.in. It works fine for me (Emacs from git) but I didn't test it
vs "stable" branch (26 I think).

Patch:

P.S. Just in case if some mail servers mangle the message I attached the
patch as well.
