Paul, could you please explain why would it be a bad idea to remove the "phony" status from loaddefs.el?
That would cause loaddefs.el to not be generated sometimes when it should be. loaddefs.el depends not only on $(LOADDEFS) (its explicit dependencies), but also on all the other *.el files that have an autoload directive.
I don't see how the problem you mention is one that d703a4d introduced, as previously loaddefs.el was generated as a side effect of the 'autoloads' rule, which was already phony.
That being said, we could do a better job of dependency checking here, so that loaddefs.el is not built so often. I'll see if I can think of something.
