Maybe it does, but it isn't meant to solve the problem at hand, as it
builds bootstrap-emacs unconditionally.

Then perhaps we should stop producing releases.

Go ahead, and let's see what it does to the next pretest.

You are assuming too much about what I meant.
byte-recompile-directory could use the just-built Emacs binary, and
the dummy bootstrap-emacs could be a shell script that just invoked
that same binary.
