Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this on my own machine. Exactly how is
the hydra build configured? I've tried --without-x, as a guess, but I
get no error.

Possible solutions:

 1) Ignore it
 2) Move the leim-list dependency from "emacs" to "all". The leim files
    will now get built by emacs not bootstrap-emacs.
 3) Suppress the error in some other way, probably by sticking
    "input-type-auto-detected-p" into ldefs-boot-manual.el

I quite like 2, but it will break two autoloads
(hangul-input-method-activate and ucs-input-activate). I do not know why
these two methods need autoloading while none of the other files in the
leim directory have autoloads.

I'm struggling with 3) because I can't reproduce.
