OK, there were more failure modes here than I was aware of...

make extraclean bootstrap

just plain fails, ending with

rm -f config-tmp-*
rm -f ./*~ \#*
make -C src bootstrap-clean
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/larsi/src/emacs/trunk/src'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'bootstrap-clean'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/larsi/src/emacs/trunk/src'
Makefile:891: recipe for target 'src_bootstrap-clean' failed
make: *** [src_bootstrap-clean] Error 2

make extraclean; make bootstrap

does not fail, but extraclean does not remove the .elc files, and
whatever it does also stops "make bootstrap" from removing the .elc
files, which is rather surprising.

Running the autogen.sh; ./configure in between these two makes enables
bootstrap to delete the .elc files.
