Well, the checkout has the following:
e6b3fc34d6e684433e96e648a8c00e21  src/callproc.c
62bfaf0bcee37a112e4e2ca1effd2359  lisp/env.el
c4e7d9d27cb90c029fe3de60333e8450  lisp/server.el
6b19c0639ba08cd5f3f47ac8a3afbd3c  lib-src/emacsclient.c

(the difference in env.el will be the change I posted to the list).

I checked out fresh on a new system, configured, did make and make
install.  The resulting Emacs is not happy:

address@hidden:/rep/emacs-build$ /usr/local/emacs-21/bin/emacs -Q
Wrong type argument: framep, 0
address@hidden:/rep/emacs-build$ /usr/local/emacs-21/bin/emacs -nw -Q
emacs: Cannot open termcap database file

I can't get it to start even.  Again, this would seem to point to some
problem with the environment.

Strangely, I can start it using
emacs -Q -display :0.0
and saying
M-: (environment) RET
outputs something looking quite complete and sensible.

The version info would be
