parallel bootstrap failure; _prompt_? during bootstrap build

[Jim Meyering]

I've just noticed a bootstrap failure.
I was building with make -j5:

Here's the tail of the build output.
Patch below.

Since it byte-opt.el requires encoded-kb,
I simply prepended encoded-kb.el to the list:

------------------------------
BTW, one minor nit: I got this *prompt*.
I would have expected no prompts during a build.
