Neither gnus-mh.el nor mh-e seems to have been touched in quite a while;
can other people bootstrap successfully?

... and it also fails when compiling mh-e itself, so I guess it's
probably a mh-e error, nothing to do with gnus:

Do you have mh-e/mh-loaddefs.el?

I have this:
;;; mh-loaddefs.el --- automatically extracted autoloads
;; Copyright (C) 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
;; Author: Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>

(provide 'mh-loaddefs)
;; Local Variables:
;; version-control: never
;; no-byte-compile: t
;; no-update-autoloads: t
;; End:
;;; mh-loaddefs.el ends here
I gather it's supposed to contain something more? What is supposed
to update it?
One thing that might be relevant: My original command used make's -j4
option (for parallel makes): "make -j4 bootstrap". When that failed, I
redid it using a simple "make bootstrap", but perhaps if this file was
somehow screwed up by the make -j4, and isn't being properly regenerated by
"make bootstrap", that could be why it failed the 2nd time?
Thanks,
-Miles

Yes, all mh-e autoloads.

make mh-autoloads in lisp should update it. But this will only work if you
already have a working emacs, of course.

Quite possible. Looks like the bootstrap emacs lacks all mh-e autoloads.
Andreas.

Miles,
Sorry for the long hiatus, but work (kepler.nasa.gov) has been keeping
me way busy.

Yes, as Andreas said, it should contain all of the autoloads.
Look for mh-autoloads in lisp/Makefile to see how it should be
created. In particular, the missing bits are created with the
following command:
$(EMACS) $(EMACSOPT) \
-l autoload \
--eval "(setq generate-autoload-cookie \";;;###mh-autoload\")" \
--eval "(setq generated-autoload-file \"$(lisp)/mh-e/mh-loaddefs.el\")" \
--eval "(setq make-backup-files nil)" \
-f batch-update-autoloads $(lisp)/mh-e
I pretty much copied the command that builds loaddefs.el.

The mh-autoloads depends on $(lisp)/mh-e/mh-loaddefs.el, so if that
file existed, it wouldn't be rebuilt. If you remove it, and run "make
mh-autoloads" in the lisp directory, you should be set.
I just did an update after eons, and a make bootstrap (after a make
maintainer-clean) and the build proceeded without error.
Note that as you observed, we haven't touched MH-E (except for a few
minor bug fixes) since Emacs was frozen, nearly a year ago. I guess the
Makefiles aren't conducive to parallelism.
