Thank you to all who've been trying to sort out my problem, but I think that I've found the solution.

I have now rebuilt emacs with this bog-standard setup -

===
/autogen.sh
/configure
make
sudo make install
===

and it then builds org-loaddefs with zero problems.

My previous build was using this setup -

===
/autogen.sh
/configure
make bootstrap
make
===

And I suspect that the lone 'make' caused the problems, but I haven't done a test build to try it out.

I don't know where I got the bootstrap build mantra from, I must've found it online somewhere some time ago.

But thank you to all who tried to find a solution.

Thanks
    Sharon.
