Unfortunately 'git clean -xfd' doesn't necessarily clean out all the 
detritus. I just now tried the following on Fedora 34 x86-64 from a 
fresh Git checkout (current emacs-28 commit, namely 
1cd1b2835b5e35562c677c48dcf185bb73af4275):

./autogen.sh && ./configure --without-x --without-native-compilation && 
time make bootstrap -j16

and it worked for me (compressed build log attached). Please try this 
approach. If it works for you, it would suggest that 'make bootstrap' 
has a bug in that it doesn't clean out enough stuff somewhere.

I built on a circa-2010 machine (AMD Phenom II X4 910e) with only 4 
CPUs. It's possible that my machine's lack of parallelism helped, though 
if that's the case it would indicate a missing dependency in a Makefile 
somewhere.
