This is the wrong place to discuss problems with building the CVS
code. Please in the future write to emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org.

That's right: the first time you build the CVS code after checking it
out, you need to say "make bootstrap".

They are not in the CVS tree, and since your previous bootstrap
failed, they were not built.

Where did that message come from? The only place I can find it in the
CVS is in the nt/gmake.defs file, which should be only used on
Windows. Are you building this on Windows? If so, you need to follow
the Windows installation instructions in nt/INSTALL, except that you
should say "make bootstrap" instead of just "make".
> Huh?: "make[1]: *** No rule to make target `mostlyclean'. Stop."
Probably because you didn't run nt/configure.bat, and so there's no
Makefile in the `src' directory.

No, you don't.

What bugs? ;-)
