So you do the following?
1. Checkout a clean working copy of Emacs' CSV.
2. Run "make-dist --snapshot" to get a tarball (without .elc or info
files).
3. Unpack this tarball.
4. Run ".configure" and "make bootstrap" on that tree.
(I'm pleasantly surprised that works.)
What about the patch below then? It makes sure that make-dist never
distributes ldefs-boot.el (that way, ldefs-boot.el will never be
installed either) and it ensures that a tarball created by the above
method can bootstrap.
