RMS sent me mail with question about what my patch does better.
So, sorry for delay and here is my explanation.

With current code you can have _any single_ *.elc file in lisp directory
and make will think that everything is ok and you don't need to run make
bootstrap.

So, then emacs will not build because errors will show a while later.

With my code - Makefile will try to test if there is a minimal set
of .elc files available to build minimal emacs-bootstrap binary.

Of course after a little while I think that I should also add more files
to this list, because with files defined in ${lisp} variable you
propably will be able to build emacs-bootstrap but still face problems
when trying to build binaries from ./lib-src...

Anyway now you know what was my idea, and if I find a while to think
about again I'll try to prepare something better.
