Re: undo in loaddefs.el buffer

[Luc Teirlinck]

>From my previous message:

   During `make bootstrap' (CVS from minutes ago) I got asked:

   Buffer loaddefs.el undo info is 301051 bytes long; discard it? (yes or no)

   Is there any reason for that buffer record undo history in the first place?

What about the following trivial patch to emacs-lisp/autoload.el,
which fixes the problem?  Or is there some strange reason why enabling
undo is _really_ necessary in that buffer?  It is hard to think of
any, since this seems to be just an internally used buffer.
