Why?

The following is on GNU/Linux Kubuntu 10.04.

[A] - Out of tree build, rev. 101821
$ rsync -av --delete emacs-trunk/ emacs/
$ cd emacs
$ bzr up -r 101821
$ mkdir build_dir
$ cd build_dir
$ ../configure 2>&1 | tee oot_build.log
$ make bootstrap -j4 2>&1 | tee -a oot_build.log

[B] - In tree build, rev. 101821
$ rsync -av --delete emacs-trunk/ emacs/
$ cd emacs
$ bzr up -r 101821
$ ./configure 2>&1 | tee in_tree_build.log
$ make bootstrap -j4 2>&1 | tee -a in_tree_build.log

$ grep -i error in_tree_build.log

In [B], the 'ignored' errors regard something like 'cp foo foo' _NOT_ 
your changes in 'infoclean'.

Repeating the same with rev. 101874, [A] gives:

$ grep -i error oot_build.log
checking jerror.h usability... yes
checking jerror.h presence... yes
checking for jerror.h... yes
checking for strerror... yes
checking for gai_strerror... yes
rm -f libXMenu11.a Activate.o AddPane.o AddSel.o ChgPane.o ChgSel.o

BOOTSTRAP FAILURE!

Instead, [B] with rev. 101874 has success:

$ grep -i error in_tree_build.log
checking jerror.h usability... yes
checking jerror.h presence... yes
checking for jerror.h... yes
checking for strerror... yes
checking for gai_strerror... yes
rm -f libXMenu11.a Activate.o AddPane.o AddSel.o ChgPane.o ChgSel.o

Where 'ignored' recards 'cp foo foo'.

Your changes, at least up to rev. 101874, were affected by this issue: 
they did not work right in a bootstrap 'out of tree', and the 'ignored' 
errors, [A], of rev. 101821, were trying to flag this.

Cheers,
Angelo.
