I'm trying to bring up GNU Emacs for the first time.  temacs is built.
The makefile now wants to run

	./temacs -batch -l inc-vers
	./temacs -batch -l loadup dump

I suppose that this is supposed to create xemacs.  Well the first
command prints

> Loading inc-vers...
> New Emacs version will be 17.36.1
> ^GSymbol's value as variable is void: nil

and the second prints

> Loading loadup...
> Loading subr...
> Loading simple...
> ^GSymbol's value as variable is void: nil

Both read the tty.  Printing chars are echoed, control chars ring the
bell, control-D ends the program.

I guess temacs wants me to tell it something.  What is it, and what
piece of documentation did I miss reading?

Please reply by mail, I'll post the solution.

thanks
