bootstrap errors

[Kai Großjohann]

Since Friday or so (not sure about the exact day) I keep getting
errors using my normal Emacs building script:

\----

So.  I notice that make-coding-system in utf-8.el does not include a
safe-chars parameter, only a safe-charsets parameter.  But according
to the documentation, the parameter is supposed to be optional anyway.

I'm confused as to what to do.  Help?

(My usual building script starts with "make distclean", then runs
autoconf, then configure, then "make bootstrap".)
