bug#20259: make fails to produce c-by, etc.: Invalid slot type...

[Ivan Shmakov]

Package: emacs

        For a couple of weeks or so now, building Emacs fails for me
        when byte-compiling cedet/semantic/bovine/c.el, apparently
        because the earlier stages have failed to produce a number of
        files under lisp/cedet/semantic/bovine/ (*.by) and …/wisent/
        (*.wy).

        Removing ‘cedet’ (which I do not use anyway) from compilation
        along with setting BOVINE and WISENT to empty strings seem to
        help the issue.

        The relevant section of the build log is MIMEd.

        (Tested on 0115aceb584b, 2015-04-04 14:10:06 UTC.)
