The trouble during bootstrapping seems to involve the relationship between loaddefs.el and ldefs-boot, "explained" (sort of) in lisp/Makefile.in:
# Prepare a bootstrap in the lisp subdirectory. # # Build loaddefs.el to make sure it's up-to-date. If it's not, that # might lead to errors during the bootstrap because something fails to # autoload as expected. If there is no emacs binary, then we can't # build autoloads yet. In that case we have to use ldefs-boot.el; # bootstrap should always work with ldefs-boot.el. (Because # loaddefs.el is an automatically generated file, we don't want to # store it in the source repository). But ldefs-boot.el claims to be automatically generated too and it appears to be stored in the source repository. desktop-buffer-mode-handlers has a (new) autoload cookie. That makes it into loaddefs.el, but not into ldefs-boot.el, which is apparently necessary for bootstrapping. I can make bootstrapping work by manually copying the defvar for desktop-buffer-mode-handlers from loaddefs to ldefs-boot. I could install this "fix". However, this does not seem to be the right thing to do, since ldefs-boot apparently is supposed to contain _automatically_ extracted autoloads. What is the right thing to do?
