Hmmmm...

After:

nmake realclean
nmake bootstrap
nmake install

some functions from preloaded files do not have docstrings (their
bytecode function object has 0 on the DOCSTRING element).

However, I afterwards I do:

nmake clean
nmake
nmake install

and the newly compiled Emacs has the correct DOCSTRING references.

Comparing DOC-X from the bootstrap compilation to the one for the normal
compilation, I see the first one is missing two good-sized chunks.
Looking at the output of the bootstrap compilation I see:

and those are the files whose docstrings aren't found. So obviously
there's a problem in the makefile wrt bootstrapping. Any
idea what that is and how to fix it?
