The XXX Makefile works and compiles calc-aent.el as expected.  FWIW, it
also works with `make -f XXX compile-main EMACS=../src/bootstrap-emacs'
but I didn't know that at the time.

I notice the compilation fails for the first file in a subdirectory.  If
I remove calc/calc-aent.elc from the ELCFILES list, for example,
calc/calc-alg.elc is the next problem.  Maybe that's a hint?

I am attaching my generated lisp/Makefile and the output of

cd lisp
make -d -w bootstrap EMACS=../src/bootstrap-emacs

which fails consistently, and is called by the `make bootstrap' process,
so I assume it's the problem command.  Make considers the right .el file
but for some reason gives up on it.
