I'm quite sure this is definitely GNU Make specific, both the static
pattern rules using % and the | thing.  Even if other Unix Make
flavors support something like that, not all of them do.

I think providing an empty bootstrap-emacs file in the tarball should
solve the problem in a much more portable way.
