   Try adding the line "(require 'backquote)" at the beginning

The problem is that gnus.el was compiled with *OLD* nntp.elc, so
byte-compiler couldn't know about new macro definitions declared in
*NEW* nntp.el.

There are two ways to byte-compile-file gnus.el safely:

(1) Byte-compile-file nntp.el, nnspool.el and gnus.el in *THIS* order.

or

(2) Remove *.elc (old byte code), and then byte-compile-file them in any order.
