I have this:

   ;;; mh-loaddefs.el --- automatically extracted autoloads

   ;; 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
