(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.

# ulimit.hack: Create an intermediate program for use in
# between kernel initialization and init startup.
# This is needed on a 3b system if the standard CDLIMIT is
# so small that the dumped Emacs file cannot be written.
# This program causes everyone to get a bigger CDLIMIT value
# so that the dumped Emacs can be written out.
#
# Users of V.3.1 and later should not use this; see etc/MACHINES
# and reconfig your kernel's CDLIMIT parameter instead.
#
# Caveat: Heaven help you if you screw this up.  This puts
# a new program in as /etc/init, which then execs the real init.
