    I thought that the point was to prevent making an incomplete
    tarball.

The aim of this suggestion is to catch a simple mistake
of running make-dist without bootstrapping first.

To check for the other case of a bootstrap that failed is a different
issue.  If someone wants to do it, I don't object.  If people don't
want to bother, that's fine too.

In any case, my suggestion is to test that simple.elc exists
and give an error if it does not.
