Yes.

On another ML, I found that the specification of "aset" changed. The
person who made this change is now discussing whether or not this
change is proper. 

If the Emacs developer will decide this change is not avoidable and
the old behavior will not be ported back, I will catch up.

Now I'm compiling CVS Head on a machine other than MacOS...
# CVS Head still does not work on MacOS.
