It appears to be a chicken and egg problem. Maybe it can be solved by a
change to loaddefs-boot.el?
The code is in vc-cvs.el, and is a call to parse-time-string which is
now autoloaded. The problem encountered is that when Emacs tries to save
loaddefs.el after generating it, it loads vc-cvs.el and tries to run the
code in question. But since loaddefs.el has not been written yet, the
autoload does not work, and parse-time-string is left undefined.
