Don't know about the others, but almost I never bootstrap, except in a
fresh checkout.  The reasons are (a) it's slow, and I don't want to
wait for 10 or so minutes just because I updated from upstream; and
(b) it deletes all previous executables of Emacs, which I use for
fast-bisecting reported problems.

When these rare situations happen, it is not hard to guess the file
whose .elc should be removed and regenerated; if worse comes to worst,
deleting all the *.elc files in the relevant subdirectory (lisp/gnus/
in this case) and typing "make" solves the problem much faster for me,
and without the unwanted side effects.
