The packaged distribution’s behaviour for GNU/Emacs 22 is identical. This is 
the original GNU/Emacs found on the Mac. The src/ directory is missing for 
eval.c .

Unlike the Lisp files, the C files are not targeted and placed outside of the 
source distribution by `make install`. It seems. 

And, maintainers for 4 package variants, 3 installer variants, 2 hardware 
vendor variants may not be aware, or, this is what God intends.

With more experience packaging and distributing GNU/Emacs, I want to believe 
the packages for masses by maintaners are better than what I can roll my own. 
It may not "just work" for you and me if we move the git-repo after `make 
install`.

Thanks.
