So, the cause of the problem is this. bootstrap-emacs (nor emacs) does
not actually load loaddefs.el; it's just dumped with the binary. I was
recording autoloads until loaddefs.el was generated, but actually, I
need to record them till loaddefs.el is used, that is when emacs is
dumped.

The attached patch seems to address. Can you confirm, then I will apply
to master.
