still failing to "make" almost-cvs 21.3

STILL trying to compile "almost-cvs" 21.3

------------------ Here's the attempted make:

256 ==/big7.1/sources-stuff-2/emacs-21.3==>

Your tree does not include the compiled Lisp files.
You need to do `make bootstrap' to build Emacs.
Emacs now requires Texinfo version 4.2.
make: *** [maybe_bootstrap] Error 1

---- The tail end of the Makefile:

#### Bootstrapping.

### This is meant for Emacs maintainers only.  It first cleans the
### lisp subdirectory, removing all compiled Lisp files.  Then a
### special emacs executable is built from Lisp sources, which is then
### used to compile Lisp files.  The last step is a "normal" make.

.PHONY: bootstrap
.PHONY: maybe_bootstrap

maybe_bootstrap:
	@bar="`echo $(srcdir)/lisp/*.elc`"; \
	if [ \( "$$bar" = '$(srcdir)/lisp/*.elc' \) -o \( "$$bar" = '' \) ]; then \
	  echo "Your tree does not include the compiled Lisp files."; \
	  echo "You need to do \`make bootstrap' to build Emacs."; \
	  echo "Emacs now requires Texinfo version 4.2."; \
	  exit 1;\
	fi

------- Repeating that code that caught me:

maybe_bootstrap:
	@bar="`echo $(srcdir)/lisp/*.elc`"; \
	if [ \( "$$bar" = '$(srcdir)/lisp/*.elc' \) -o \( "$$bar" = '' \) ]; then \
	  echo "Your tree does not include the compiled Lisp files."; \
	  echo "You need to do \`make bootstrap' to build Emacs."; \
	  echo "Emacs now requires Texinfo version 4.2."; \
	  exit 1;\
	fi


I've now gone and installed texinfo 4.2, and it's on $PATH.

No, no .elc-files.  Why didn't they get built?  Beats me!

And, as instructed, I tried to do the "make bootstrap"; got this:

275 ==/big7.1/sources-stuff-2/emacs-21.3==> 
275 ==/big7.1/sources-stuff-2/emacs-21.3==> make bootstrap
(cd src;      make  mostlyclean)
[Please ignore a syntax error on the next line - it is intentional]
make[1]: Entering directory `/big7.1/sources-stuff-2/emacs-21.3/src'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `mostlyclean'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/big7.1/sources-stuff-2/emacs-21.3/src'

Huh?:  "make[1]: *** No rule to make target `mostlyclean'.  Stop."

Hey, cvs-maintainers, do I *really* have to hack this Makefile,
  fix bugs in it?   ("configure" -- hack that too?)

*WAY* beyond my abilities!
   (./configure  and then  make: that's *my* limit!)


Any ideas?

Thanks!
