I had the same problem yesterday, but since the build was running
unattended, I thought it was due to some snafu during generation of
leim-list.el.  Sounds like the reason is deeper than that.  I solved
the problem by removing the file, just as you did.

In my case, I didn't need a  bootstrap after removing the file, just
to run "make".  So I'd like to understand the reason for the problem
before we decide how to solve it.  If you managed to figure out the
reason for corruption, could you please explain it?
