The change you introduced to lisp/Makefile.in on 2008-05-21 seems to be
the problem.  If I update from today's CVS except for that file, the
bootstrap builds fine.  It looks like your changes use some bash
features, which might be the problem for me (I use zsh, I don't know
what Make invokes).  Maybe the make rules should use find or the
built-in Make iteration?  I don't know the build process at all, so I'm
just guessing.

My environment:

Ubuntu 7.10
zsh
GNU Make 3.81
gcc 4.1.3

Do you need the full `make -d` output?
