Many people already proposed that but this is wrong since 'make maintainer-clean', which undoes the bootstrap, will remove loaddefs.el (which is fine since autogenerated files have to be removed). Hence, I can't bootstrap more than once with the same tarball. How about leaving ldefs-boot.el and see if it hurts?
