No, they should be there, well spotted. I imagine they were missed
because they are not in loadup.el, rather loaded by something that is.
(As an aside, that can be somewhat confusing, as this shows. Maybe it
would be better to move them to loadup.el. Same for term/internal.)

They don't contain any useful doc strings, so that does not matter, but
the rule for the Emacs binary in src/Makefile should depend on them.

I don't see any reason _not_ to compile these 3 files.
It seems generated files are usually not compiled, but these ones
are in the repository.
