Hmm... indeed it seems that the normal build procedure runs
`cd lisp; make autoloads' only when lisp/loaddefs.el is missing and
doesn't otherwise update the file.

The patch below should fix that, tho at the cost of making the autoloads
twice in the bootstrap case.  Can you confirm it fixes the problem?
Assuming it does, I'm not sure whether we should use such a patch as is,
or whether we should "do it right"
