Thanks for the reminder.

Maybe we should.  Having loaddefs.el depend on the particulars of the
build will definitely open a can of worms, because *.el files are
generally considered architecture and build independent.  For example,
does it still work to invoke Emacs built with X with the -nw option?

In general, if some build-dependent set of autoloads is skipped, then
how can we be sure that a binary which supports two different
configurations will work?
