Nuking the configuration may be necessary (eg, if config.h.in changes).

Even if *that* triggers reconfiguration automatically, I find it hard
to believe that Emacs's Makefiles are sufficiently finicky that all
potentially relevant changes trigger reconfiguration.

I am not suggesting that "make bootstrap" should be changed, just that
if it doesn't work, "make clean bootstrap" is not going to help.
