Hi,

I'm curious about the reason for this change:

2008-06-20  Stefan Monnier  <monnier at iro.umontreal.ca>

  * Makefile.in (emacs${EXEEXT}): Depend on the machine-specific files.

which amounts to adding ${SOME_MACHINE_LISP} to the dependencies of
emacs${EXEEXT}. AFAICS, it should just depend directly on $lisp and
DOC. The latter depends on SOME_MACHINE_LISP, so emacs depends on it
indirectly, but I don't see why you added the direct dependence.
