abbrev file and -batch

[Dan Nicolaescu]

I got an error when using "sudo" to build an emacs rpm. (i.e. "sudo root")
The error looks like this:

../src/bootstrap-emacs -batch --no-site-file --multibyte -l autoload --eval 
'(setq generated-autoload-file 
"/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/emacs-22.0.93/lisp/loaddefs.el")' -f 
batch-update-autoloads $wins

Cannot open load file: ~/.abbrev_defs

The problem is that the permissions for ~/.abbrev_defs (which is 
~dann/.abbrev_defs) are -rw------- 
~ is NFS mounted, so ~/.abbrev_defs is not readable when using "sudo"

The test for abbrev-file-name in startup.el can be changed from:
  (if (file-exists-p abbrev-file-name)
to
  (if (and (file-exists-p abbrev-file-name) (file-readable-p abbrev-file-name))

But also, should the abbrev file even be loaded when using -batch ?
