Re: make bootstrap: need moral support. :-(

[Eric Hanchrow]

Often, the only way I can get Emacs to build is to

       $ cd /usr/local/src/emacs-cvs
       
       # Delete everything except the top-level CVS directory
       $ find . -! -name CVS -mindepth 1 -maxdeptn 1 | xargs rm -rf

       $ cvs up

       $ ./configure && make bootstrap

I might be going overboard, but I needed to do this at least once, and
I'm superstitious enough that I keep doing it whenever Emacs acts
funny.
