Comment 15 for bug 27358

Ouch! Yes, the makefile needs to be fixed as described here.

Note that a simpler fix, conceptually, might be just to do with this
target what is already being done for others like VM, etc., and why
those eval strings don't fail as well; something like:

  LOADVM = -eval '(and (not (string= "$(VMDIR)" "")) \
                    (setq load-path (cons "$(VMDIR)" load-path)) \
                    (load "vm" t t) \
                    (load "vm-vars" t t))'

  bbdb-hooks.elc: bbdb.elc bbdb-hooks.el
        @$(EMACS_PROG) -batch -q $(PUSHPATH) -l ./bbdb.elc \
        $(LOADVM) \
        -f batch-byte-compile $(@:.elc=.el)
