With emacs-28 I get when starting emacs: Eager macro-expansion failure: (wrong-number-of-arguments (3 . 4) 2) Eager macro-expansion failure: (wrong-number-of-arguments (3 . 4) 2) Error loading autoloads: (wrong-number-of-arguments (3 . 4) 2) This turns out to be surprisingly hard to track down, what magic do I need to do to get some BT to find where this is coming from?
> Error loading autoloads: (wrong-number-of-arguments (3 . 4) 2) Interesting, this might be coming from one of your installed pkgs autoload files. I'm not sure if it would print this if it were one of pkgs installed from the app-emacs category... What pkgs do you have installed if any? Also, you can try passing the --debug-init option to get more info.
Does the problem occur if you start Emacs with "emacs -Q"? If not, try combinations of the "-q", "--no-site-file" and "--no-site-lisp" option to narrow it down further. Rebuilding elisp packages with emacs-updater may also help.
-Q and -q -> no Error --no-site-file or --no-site-lisp -> Error emacs-updater already run: emacs-updater -p * Searching for byte-compiled elisp files ... * Currently selected GNU Emacs version: 28.1

If emacs -Q is fine, you need to bisect your init (e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23772890/how-to-find-a-bug-in-emacs-or-init-el) to figure out the naughty pkg. I've been there and it's no fun!
My guess is that it's a similar issue as in bug 836772, bug 836904, bug 836906, bug 836924 and bug 837347. It is triggered by a change in the definition of define-obsolete-function-alias in Emacs 28.

Looks like i have old stuff in there I need to clean out. I can manage from here, thanks.
