When I do this to force a recompile of loaddefs-gen.elc:

    rm lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.elc; make -j8

I get the following:

Error: file-missing ("Cannot open load file" "No such file or
directory" "./emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.elc")

I guess it's fixed by this, but it'd be better to byte-compile it:

Adding loaddefs-gen.elc as a dependency fixes this, so I've now done
that instead.
