Neither do I, FWIW.  That recent change just populated loaddefs.tmp
before updating it, that's all.  Since nothing else in the build
references loaddefs.tmp, I don't see how it could be related.

I think this is the right direction, but I can only wonder how come
this problem didn't come up before.  I'm building with -j6 and -j8 for
a very long time, and never saw such failures, although clearly the
generated unidata files might not yet exist when loaddefs.el is
produced.  Is this likely to happen only on slow machines?
