defface not a function

[Robert J. Chassell]

This morning's, Fri, 2007 Jan 5 12:34 UTC, an entirely fresh CVS check
out, and and attempted build in a shell:

    ./configure --with-type1 --with-x-toolkit=gtk --with-pop \
    --prefix=/usr/local --with-sound=yes \
    && time make bootstrap

led to an error:

    Symbol's function definition is void: defface

However, an older CVS Emacs, from 2006 Dec 28, says that

    defface is a Lisp macro in `custom.el'.

and so it is currently:   (defmacro defface (face spec doc &rest args)
