	To clarify: it fails to produce /.el/ files (from .by and .wy.)

	Just in case, the build procedure I use is (roughly) as follows.
	From what I know, it effectively makes ‘make bootstrap’ a no-op,
	or am I mistaken on that?

#!/bin/bash
set -e -x
mkdir -v -- emacs-$(date -uI)-build
cd emacs-$(date -uI)-build
lndir -- ../emacs-src
autoreconf -v -i -I m4

## Ensure there are no stray .elc files in the build directory.
! grep -q -- . < <(find -name \*.elc)

LC_ALL=C nohup /usr/bin/time make \
    -- lib lib-src src lisp
