Can someone test it and fix/install it? I guess this will have the effect of scanning every file for an autoload while bootstrapping, which is inefficient but not important. IIUC, if I happen to delete just calc-loaddefs.el and then run `make autoloads', it won't be recreated. I don't have a better solution though... (I guess the autoload time-stamp check is to reduce the number of files that need to be read, and checking for a local value of generated-autoload-file would defeat that?)
