Oh, I misunderstood Immanuel's reason for posting.  He suggests that
the error of failing to remove the old compiled Lisp files should not
be ignored, because the build will then proceed using the old compiled
Lisp files.

There is a `-' in front of the rm command in lisp/Makefile.  I'm not
familiar enough with the build process to just go ahead and remove it.
Is there a reason for it to be there?
