You suggested copying ldefs-boot.el onto loaddefs.el when it is more recent. I'm not entirely sure, but it seems to me that forcing a regeneration of the loaddefs files during make whenever ldefs-boot.el is more recent than loaddefs.el would be a better solution.

Your proposal would produce marginally better results for a significantly longer build time, so I don't think it's a net win.


If ldefs-boot.el is updated, say, once a week, this would force the regeneration of the loaddefs files at most once a week. Wouldn't that be a reasonable compromise? On my computer, regenerating the loaddefs files takes about 10 seconds, or ~3% of the time of a make bootstrap.
