So, I just did a `make maintainer-clean', configure, removed the 
-DPURESIZE=5000000 from src/makefile and then did a `make bootstrap'.

Everything builds fine.

Does this mean we don't have to go through the two compilation cycles 
during a bootstrap (once with PURESIZE, once without), but we can just 
compile it once?

I would volunteer to adjust the makefiles to accommodate this.
