Okay, see text of REPO.INSTALL:

    If either of the above partial procedures fails, try 'make bootstrap'.
    If CPU time is not an issue, 'make bootstrap' is a more thorough way
    to rebuild, avoiding spurious problems.

'make clean all' is the same as 'make clean' then 'make all'.  You can
use 'make bootstrap-clean' for a more thorough cleaning (see Makefile.in
for a few other cleaning targets), usually it's not necessary though.
