Package: emacs
Version: 25.1.90

In the 25.1.90 tarball, files.el is newer than files.elc.
This ought to be impossible, if the tarfile was created from a bootstrap.
It causes building to recompile files.el, which is harmless but should
not be needed in a release.

Indeed, and there were a couple of other files with the same issue.
mule-cmds.el is one other, and also the ELisp manual was rebuilt
because one of its source files was newer.

It was, but I might have pulled a commit after bootstrapping (Eli
mentioned that reason to me, and while I don't remember doing that, it
has to be the case).

Indeed.  I'll keep this bug report open until the next pretest.

Cheers,

Can we add something to the build that checks this before the tar step?

I think "make-dist" should get a check for this (for each .elc. check it
is newer than the .el, probably also for .info and .texi),
which --snapshot should run by default.

Done in 129645a. (Necessarily on emacs-25 to benefit next pretest.)

Now that the new pretest is out, I'm closing this issue.
