The "make clean", actually.  That deletes the old emacs executable,
but not the old loaddefs.el.  As a result, bootstrap-emacs uses the
old loaddefs.el (and not ldefs-boot.el) and fails to compile lisp code
that depends on new autoloads.  You can avoid such problems by not
doing a "make clean" ("make bootstrap" will do the necessary cleaning
itself).
