This happens when there are no files that need a permission fix: The parameter for chmod is therefore empty and causes that error message
Redirected error output to /dev/null in -r5 the ebuilds of version 22 won't have that chmod setting. (As I don't know what the permission fixing was intended for, I just leave and work around the undesired output.) Thanks for reporting. (First commit to Emacs itself...hold your breath, I hope I don't break anything.)
And I should close it. :)
I wonder what causes that. Is xargs trying to exec something on an empty line from find?

In the tarball there are no files with permissions to fix, so xargs can give no files as argument...maybe there was once, but they fixed it upstream. I'd say we can delete those lines (but they do no harm).
