Let's see... gee... maybe you could show a scenario where src/emacs ends up existing while lisp/subdirs.el doesn't. I don't claim your problem doesn't exist, but I think your solution is wrong. So explain your problem and maybe you'll convince me or someone will come up with a better solution (one that doesn't involve recomputing all the foo/bar-loaddefs.el files whenever subdirs.el is updated).
