Other packages in packages/unsupported/scop than vc and generic-modes are very 
much unsupported and may very well be broken, and the above appears to come 
from the cogre package.  I added elib to unsupported/scop/Makefile's 
ASSUMED_PRESENT, perhaps that fixes it though.

But I don't think you need to run "make autoloads" at the packages/unsupported 
or packages/unsupported/scop levels, just cd directly to 
packages/unsupported/scop/vc and run it there (after running it at the top 
level, ie. in packages/).
