+Bootstrapping (compiling the .el files) is normally only necessary

+*** "No rule to make target" with Ubuntu 8.04 make 3.81-3build1
+
+Compiling the lisp files fails at random places, complaining:
+"No rule to make target `/path/to/some/lisp.elc'".
+The causes of this problem are not understood.  Using GNU make 3.81 compiled
+from source, rather than the Ubuntu version, worked. See Bug#327,821.
