I'm not familiar with the exact mechanism of 'make bootstrap', so will need about a week. Thanks. I don't think you need to change the mechanism of `make bootstrap' much. What the script has to do is cause `make' to run `make bootstrap' unconditionally, the next time only. Right now there is a target `maybe_bootstrap' that checks whether a bootstrap is needed; but it doesn't actually do a bootstrap, rather it exits with instructions to do `make bootstrap'.
