For some reason, lisp/cedet/{ede,semantic,srecode}/loaddefs.el are
being regenerated when building Emacs from the 23.3b tarball. The new
files have about twice the length of the ones that are distributed.
For example:

/var/tmp/portage/app-editors/emacs-23.3-r3/work/emacs-23.3 $ ls -l 
lisp/cedet/semantic/loaddefs.el*
-rw-r--r-- 1 ulm users 112595 Nov 26 11:01 lisp/cedet/semantic/loaddefs.el
-rw-r--r-- 1 ulm users  56415 Nov 26 04:20 lisp/cedet/semantic/loaddefs.el~

Looking into the files, I find that (except for the files' header and
footer) everything occurs twice.

This did not happen with 23.3a:

/var/tmp/portage/app-editors/emacs-23.3-r2/work/emacs-23.3 $ ls -l 
lisp/cedet/semantic/loaddefs.el*
-rw-r--r-- 1 ulm users 56415 Mar  8  2011 lisp/cedet/semantic/loaddefs.el
