It is an issue on Windows, because nt/makefile.w32-in does not have a
maintainer-clean target. In fact, only doc/*/makefile.w32-in and
leim/makefile.w32-in have it.

I had to remove lisp/calendar/*-loaddefs.el manually in order to be
able to bootstrap correctly.

So:

 - we document somewhere that if you have trouble with the *-loaddefs
files, you can delete them and bootstrap again, or
 - we add a maintainer-clean target to the Windows makefiles, or
 - we add a dependency to the Windows bootstrap-clean target to remove
the loaddefs, which will cause unnecesary regeneration of them but it
is otherwise safe.
