We are going to deprecate elisp-comp, see bug 235442, so elisp-compile should be used instead. Patch will follow.
Created attachment 163611 [details, diff] Proposed change for ratpoison-1.4.3.ebuild Patch for 1.4.3, but please apply to all ebuilds of the package. The installed files will be identical.
Third attempt to get the tracker bug right. :-( Sorry for the bugspam.
