Yes.

I mean, after I know bootstrapping may stopped because of
the etc/DOC file, I always create such a file before bootstrapping,
so that this termination never happens again.

OK.  I'll post the result if bootstrapping fails due to etc/DOC next
time.

Btw, when I bootstrapping Emacs Unicode 2 branch in FreeBSD
4.8, it stops when building etags and some other tools (I don't
remember, though) because FreeBSD doesn't have the getopt_long
function.  I defined getopt_long as getopt, dropping other
arguments as in the etags.c file.  Does this matter as well?
