No, it isn't. If you want to be correct, use "make bootstrap". cvs-update was introduced as a very useful shortcut, which takes half a minute, if only a few Lisp files were modified, rather than one and a half hour taken by bootstrapping. > And as Jason points out, it is a negligible amount of time > anyway. One (minor) problem is that it regenerates subdirs.el unconditionally, so whatever targets that depend on it will be remade as well. But these are all minor considerations, admittedly.
