Strangely, no.  The compilation works with

TAGS: $(lisptagsfiles1) 
        els=`echo $(lisptagsfiles1) $(lisptagsfiles2) | sed -e 
"s,$(lisp)/loaddefs[^ ]*,," -e "s,$(lisp)/ldefs-boot[^ ]*,,"`; \
        ${ETAGS} $$els

TAGS-LISP: $(lisptagsfiles1) 
        els=`echo $(lisptagsfiles1) $(lisptagsfiles2) | sed -e 
"s,$(lisp)/loaddefs[^ ]*,," -e "s,$(lisp)/ldefs-boot[^ ]*,,"`; \
        ${ETAGS} -o TAGS-LISP $$els

but not

TAGS: $(lisptagsfiles1) $(lisptagsfiles2)
        els=`echo $(lisptagsfiles1) $(lisptagsfiles2) | sed -e 
"s,$(lisp)/loaddefs[^ ]*,," -e "s,$(lisp)/ldefs-boot[^ ]*,,"`; \
        ${ETAGS} $$els

TAGS-LISP: $(lisptagsfiles1) $(lisptagsfiles2)
        els=`echo $(lisptagsfiles1) $(lisptagsfiles2) | sed -e 
"s,$(lisp)/loaddefs[^ ]*,," -e "s,$(lisp)/ldefs-boot[^ ]*,,"`; \
        ${ETAGS} -o TAGS-LISP $$els

in the generated Makefile, so there's no practical difference.  I'm
wondering if it's exhausting some internal Make limit.  But why would it
only happen to my system?  And why did it work before May 23?

If you have no ideas, off to the Make help list I go.

GM> Does a cvs update help with that?

Yes, but the saga continues with...

make[3]: *** No rule to make target 
`/home/tzz/source/emacs/lisp/international/ccl.elc', needed by `compile-main'.  
Stop.
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/tzz/source/emacs/lisp'
