* Makefile.in ${SUBDIR}: Pass additional BOOTSTRAPEMACS argument.

* Makefile.in (${lisp} ${SOME_MACHINE_LISP}, ../lisp/loaddefs.el):
Use $(BOOTSTRAPEMACS) rather than witness-emacs.
(bootstrap-emacs${EXEEXT}): Merge witness-emacs into it.
(witness-emacs): Remove.
(lisp, shortlisp): Move loaddefs.el earlier.
(mostlyclean): Forget about witness-emacs.
* Makefile.in (COMPILE_FIRST): Trim down and add autoload.el.

+   To solve the freshness issue, we used to use a third file "witness-emacs"
+   which was used to witness the fact that there is a bootstrap-emacs
+   executable, and then have dependencies on witness-emacs rather than
+   bootstrap-emacs, but that lead to problems in parallel builds (because
+   witness-emacs needed to be free from dependencies (to avoid rebuilding
+   it), so it was compiled in parallel, leading typically to having 2
+   processes dumping bootstrap-emacs at the same time).
+   So instead, we replace the witness-emacs dependencies by conditional
+   bootstrap-dependencies (via ${BOOTSTRAPEMACS}).  Of course, since we do
+   not want to rely on GNU Make features, we have to rely on an external
+   script to do the conditional part of the dependency
+   (i.e. see the ${SUBDIR} rule ../Makefile.in).  */
