(loaddefs.el): Invoke make to build stub file using appropriate rule for build environment. (loaddefs.el-SH, loaddefs.el-CMD): New targets. Include small set of autoloads and defvars, sufficient to dump bootstrap emacs. (update-subdirs-SH): Use hard-coded list of top-level lisp subdirs, because find program on Windows is not compatible with Unix find. (compile-CMD, compile-SH): Use `batch-byte-compile-if-not-done'. Explicitly load loaddefs.el so that bootstrap emacs can compile properly. (bootstrap-clean): Add dependency on loaddefs.el, to ensure minimal stub sufficient for dumping bootstrap emacs is available.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h P in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
