Yes: easymenu.el was one of a very few files updated by "cvs up" that was
immediately followed by

   ./configure
   make bootstrap

The bootstrap attempt before "cvs up" failed while compiling
printing.el, so the new one should have simply continued from that
spot.

The files updated by "cvs up" were: align.el, tempo.el, outline.el,
macros.el, and easymenu.el.  None of the changes to those files seem
to be candidates for causing the trouble I reported, but perhaps I
miss something.

Note that the command that failed after "cvs up" was this:

    ../src/bootstrap-emacs -batch --no-site-file --multibyte -l autoload --eval '(setq generated-autoload-file "/home/e/eliz/emacs.cvs/emacs/lisp/loaddefs.el")' -f batch-update-autoloads $wins

i.e., it failed while generating loaddefs.el.

I'm looking for some change that would explain the effect on cl.
Until now, I didn't find it.

Also note that similar failure was reported in this thread:
