Well, you issued the command but the make failed. So you need to
investigate why it is failing. `make autoloads' removes some existing
files and then tries to rebuild them. One of those is org-loaddefs.el -
the fact that you don't have it shows that the rebuild failed.

The rebuild is done by this rule in lisp/Makefile:

,----
| autoloads:    cleanauto addcontrib $(LISPI) $(LISPV)
| 
| $(LISPV):     $(LISPF)
|       @echo "org-version: $(ORGVERSION) ($(GITVERSION))"
|       @$(RM) $(@)
|       @$(MAKE_ORG_VERSION)
`----

and MAKE_ORG_VERSION is defined in mk/default.mk:

,----
| # Using emacs in batch mode.
| # BATCH = $(EMACS) -batch -vanilla # XEmacs
| BATCH = $(EMACS) -batch -Q
|
| # Emacs must be started in lisp directory
| BATCHL        = $(BATCH) \
|         --eval '(add-to-list '"'"'load-path ".")'
| 
| # How to generate org-version.el
| MAKE_ORG_VERSION = $(BATCHL) \
|         --eval '(load "org-compat.el")' \
|         --eval '(load "../mk/org-fixup.el")' \
|         --eval '(org-make-org-version "$(ORGVERSION)" "$(GITVERSION)" 
"$(datadir)")'
`----

But you have a syntax error in some file (End of file during parsing - as I 
said,
probably a missing paren or some such) that causes emacs to exit abnormally.
