After I saw the problem, but before I reported it, I recompiled all
the cc-*.el files, by "make recompile".  Perhaps that command does not
compile the files in the order you mention.  It would be nice if it
did that automatically.

enough; having some of the mapcan's replaced and some left in the code
is confusing, IMHO.
