If 'make bootstrap' fails, it may be necessary to do 'make maintainer-clean'

file gets into a bad state due to changes in the Lisp libraries; this procedure
forces it to be regenerated.)

Normally, it is not necessary to use "make bootstrap" after every CVS

Occasionally the file "lisp/loaddefs.el" (and similar *-loaddefs.el
files in some subdirectories of lisp/, e.g. mh-e/ and calendar/) will
need to be updated to reflect new autoloaded functions. If you see
errors (rather than warnings) about undefined lisp functions during
compilation, that may be the reason. Another symptom may be an error
saying that "loaddefs.el" could not be found; this is due to a change
in the way loaddefs.el was handled in CVS, and should only happen
once, for users that are updating old CVS trees. Finally, sometimes
there can be build failures related to *loaddefs.el. In that case,
delete them before following the instructions below to update them.

To update loaddefs.el (and similar files), do:
$ cd lisp
$ make autogen-clean
$ make autoloads EMACS=../src/emacs
If either of the above partial procedures fails, try "make bootstrap".
