NextStep (OSX) install not quite right in HEAD

NextStep (OSX) install not quite right in HEAD

[Randal L. Schwartz]

I have a script that either does:

  make clean bootstrap install

or

  make all install

on my git-derived source repo.  I generally will do the clean/bootstrap
route when I'm bisecting, or I think Configure has changed.  But most of
the time, I've been updating with the latter, and it seemed to work.

Recently, I've noticed that "make all install" is *insufficient* to
update my binary inside Emacs.app.

Could it be the presence of "emacs-24" in the makefile in a few places?
Does that ring any bells?  I don't quite understand all the steps this
goes through to get something installed.

Or am I using the wrong commands above?  What command do I issue after
updating my source dir to build the least number of steps to update my
Emacs.app binary?

Just a make, (even a "make" inside the src repository), updates nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs for me:

dr@elin:~/em24.git emacs24$ ls -la nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs 
-rwxr-xr-x  1 dr  dr  14667912 Sep 16 13:54 nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs
dr@elin:~/em24.git emacs24$ touch src/nsterm.m 
dr@elin:~/em24.git emacs24$ make
...
dr@elin:~/em24.git emacs24$ ls -la nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs 
-rwxr-xr-x  1 dr  dr  14622856 Sep 16 17:34 nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs

Ahh, but try "touch lisp/xml.el".

It doesn't properly update the dumped lisp, even on "make install".

Or maybe it does, but doesn't update the build date.

The problem is that if I build "clean bootstrap" on tuesday, I get
tuesday's date baked in to "emacs-version".  But if I just build "all"
today, it still show's tuesday's date.

What I haven't tested is whether or not the lisp was actually updated,
even though the old date is still baked in.

Maybe it's just the date that needs to be fixed.
