   I never got time to learn this, but was there not some problems with the
   error messages just "flashing by"? And maybe it was those expressions in
   Makefile that updates loaddefs.el that was a problem on windows? (What OS
   was the OP using?)

I am not an expert on the Make files.  It might be that without some prior
form of `*clean' (I use make maintainer-clean) loaddefs actually does
not get updated.

What is definitely true is that the OP's loaddefs.el is out of date.

`coding-system-equal' no longer gets autoloaded.  The autoload cookie
got (deliberately or accidentally) removed when `coding-system-equal'
got moved from mule-util to mule on October 12, 2004.

Sincerely,

Luc.
