Re: make relinks emacs even if it's not necessary

[Richard Stallman]

    Normally the make install targets checks if all dependencies are found
    and then installs the files. The emacs makefiles on the other hand seem
    to think the binary has not been linked yet and starts working from
    there, creating a new emacs-foo, DOC-foo and a new fns-foo.el file.

why is that?  sounds like a bug to me.

    So the workaround is to:

      ./configure
      sudo make install

it shd not make any difference--can u debug why it does?
