The error message in <http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164494>
namely

Cannot open load file: /usr/share/emacs/site-list/site-gentoo

indicates that there is a problem running plain "emacs".

I think if a user provides a non-functional "emacs" command on
his system, he is responsible for the consequences and for
puttin in place a workaround. Such a workaround can be to set
the EMACS environment variable to "emacs -no-site-file".

Furthermore, adding -no-site-file to elisp-comp would limit the
users' freedom to experiment with locally developed Lisp syntax
extensions. It's a basic principle of free software that anything
that a software distributor can do, a user should be able to do
as well, and -no-site-file in elisp-comp would be a roadblock.

If you don't agree, and think the elisp-comp script really needs
to be modified, then please bring it up with the bug-automake
mailing list. GNU gettext uses the elisp-comp script that is
maintained and distributed as part of GNU automake.

The summary says it all. You don't want any site initialization at this point.
