Then, either using `script' or M-x compile, do
configure && make && make -n install
Save the compilation log in compile-NEW.log and compare it against
an old one. The easiest way to do that is to visit the old log in
Emacs, change the version number of the old Emacs to __, do the same
with the new log and do M-x ediff. Especially check that Info files
aren't built.
