First, there is zero need to cc emacs-devel on bug reports.

You don't need to bootstrap a pretest. Why are you doing that?
Just configure; make; make install.

There is a maintainer-clean rule in oldXMenu/Makefile.in, so I don't
know why this happened to you. Did oldXMenu/Makefile exist?

I guess you already deleted your src/Makefile at this point.


I'm pretty confused as to what you are doing. Did you just extract the
tarfile and run `make bootstrap'? You need to configure, then make, then
make install, as is standard.
