28  If the above procedure fails, try "make bootstrap".  Occasionally the file "lisp/loaddefs.el" will need be updated to reflect
29    new autoloaded functions.  If you see errors about undefined lisp
30    functions during compilation, that may be the reason.  Another symptom
31    may be an error saying that "loaddefs.el" could not be found; this is
32    due to a change in the way loaddefs.el was handled in CVS, and should
33    only happen once, for users that are updating old CVS trees.
34    
35    To update loaddefs.el, do:
36    
37      $ cd lisp
