I just tried to compile emacs on Mac OS X and I ran into the problem 
where "make bootstrap" fails with the following message:

. . .

Loading cus-face (source)...
Loading faces (source)...
Recursive `require' for feature `help-fns'
make[1]: *** [bootstrap-emacs] Error 255
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2

I did a bit of digging and found that the change which causes the 
problem is in lisp/cus-face.el (between version 1.29 and 1.30).  I'm 
not sure why this causes the problem, or what the proper way to fix it 
is, but reverting back to version 1.29 of cus-face.el at least allowed 
me to compile successfully on Mac OS X.
