Subject: (bootstrap-clean): If $(emacs) exists, build
X-Git-Tag: emacs-pretest-21.0.90~4516
X-Git-Url: http://git.eshelyaron.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=03adf1eea7681237b5b0673444d79ed71bead89b;p=emacs.git

(bootstrap-clean): If $(emacs) exists, build
loaddefs.el first.  A loaddefs.el that's not up-to-date might
cause a bootstrap failure because things don't autoload as
expected.
